(Adnkronos) – The Israeli army has freed four hostages held by Hamas in an operation in the center of the Gaza Strip. The IDF made this known, specifying that they are Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv. The four were kidnapped on October 7 during the Hamas attack on the Supernova music festival. The operation was conducted by the IDF with the Shin Bet and the Israeli police. Upon initial medical evaluation, the medical condition of the four appears good, but they have now been taken to hospital for further checks. The operation was conducted by special forces who carried out simultaneous raids on Hamas sites in Nuseirat. In one Argamani was rescued while the other three were found in the second site, we read in the Times of Israel. “The IDF, ISA and special forces conducted a complex, heroic operation to rescue four hostages held by Hamas in Gaza and bring them home to Israel. We will continue to fight until the 120 hostages are home.” This is what Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said on X, stating that the Israelis are “overwhelmed with joy” at the release of the four hostages. Noa, the 25-year-old Israeli kidnapped by Hamas during the festival and who became a symbol of October 7, then hugged her father again on the bus that took her to the Tel Hashomer hospital immediately after being freed together with the other three hostages. This is what a video posted on social media shows. —internazionale/[email protected] (Web Info)
