Israeli-Argentinian dual citizens, Fernando Simon Marmon and Luis Har, have been successfully rescued from captivity in Gaza by Israeli special forces. After spending over four months under the control of the terrorist group Hamas, the two men were brought back to safety and reunited with their families.
The rescue operation included a series of airstrikes in Rafah, where a significant number of mostly displaced Palestinian civilians currently reside. The military operation resulted in casualties, including both militants and innocent civilians, including children. The Israeli Air Force launched heavy strikes in an effort to divert Hamas fighters in the area during the rescue mission.
