00:00 In a daring operation, Israeli military personnel successfully rescued four Israeli hostages
00:22 from Gaza on Saturday following what they described as a complex daytime operation.
00:27 The hostages, identified as Noah Argmani, 26, Almog Mirjan, 22, Andre Kuzlov, 27, and
00:35 Shlomi Zev, 41, had been kidnapped by Hamas militants during the Nova Music Festival on
00:39 October 7.
00:40 The operation, which took place in the heart of a civilian neighborhood, saw the hostages
00:44 rescued amidst heavy gunfire.
00:46 Israeli Army spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari described the rescue as "challenging,"
00:51 with one Israeli soldier critically wounded in the process.
00:54 The hostages, now in good medical condition, were promptly taken to the hospital following
00:57 the rescue.
00:58 Footage circulated on social media captured emotional reunions between the hostages and
01:02 their families, underscoring the relief and joy felt across Israel.
01:07 Defense Minister Yoav Galant praised the recent hostage rescue operation in the Gaza Strip
01:11 as one of the most heroic and extraordinary operations he has witnessed in his 47 years
01:16 of service in Israel's defense establishment.
01:19 In a statement issued following the successful operation, Galant commended the collaboration
01:23 between the Israel Defense Forces, the Shin Bet Security Agency, and the elite counterterrorism
01:28 unit YAMAM.
01:29 He highlighted the meticulous planning and seamless execution of the operation, describing
01:34 it as "daring and unprecedented."

01:42 close coordination between the various security agencies.
01:44 He credited their collective efforts for the successful outcome of the mission, which resulted
01:48 in the safe rescue of four Israeli hostages from the Gaza Strip.
01:51 Netanyahu also hailed the security forces for their daring mission to rescue four hostages
01:56 in the central Gaza Strip.
01:58 This rare rescue comes amid escalating tensions between Israeli and Palestinian Hamas militants,
02:03 with ongoing violence resulting in significant casualties on both sides.
02:06 The rescue operation serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of conflict in
02:10 the region and the relentless efforts made to secure the safe return of Israeli citizens.
02:15 However, the operation also underscores the broader context of the conflict, with Israeli
02:20 retaliatory strikes in Gaza leading to further casualties and devastation.
02:25 Recent Israeli strikes in the Nusirat area have resulted in numerous casualties, drawing
02:29 condemnation from Hamas and sparking renewed international concern over the humanitarian
02:33 situation in Gaza.
