In a recent operation in central Gaza, the Israeli Defense Forces successfully rescued four hostages who were abducted from the Nova music festival on October 7th. Among the freed hostages are Noah Argamani, Andrei Kozlov, Isif, and Almagmeh Jan. The operation resulted in the deaths of at least 45 individuals and left hundreds injured.
The hostages, now in good medical condition, have been taken to a medical center near Tel Aviv for treatment. Noah Argamani, who was seen being abducted on a motorcycle in a Hamas video, received a phone call from Israeli President Herzog. The other three hostages were also part of the security team at the music festival.
This successful rescue mission marks the third operation conducted by the Israeli military since the initial abduction on October 7th. Previous operations in October and February resulted in the release of three hostages each. The IDF, police, and ISA described the latest operation as a complex daytime mission in Nusirat.
The joint effort by the Israeli military and security agencies underscores their commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of all individuals affected by such incidents. The rescued hostages' return to Israel signifies a significant victory in the ongoing efforts to combat militant groups and secure the region.
