In a recent overnight operation, two hostages have been successfully rescued from the southern city of Rafah in Israel. Both men are currently receiving medical treatment and are reported to be in good condition. The operation also involved a series of strikes carried out by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in one district of Rafah.
Tragically, the strikes have resulted in a high number of casualties, with the Palestine Red Crescent Society reporting that over 100 people have been killed so far. It is feared that the death toll may rise further as rescue teams continue to search for survivors buried under the rubble.
