The rescued hostages were kidnapped by Hamas at the ‘Nova’ music festival on October 7, according to information provided by the Israeli Army.
The Israeli Army announced this Saturday the rescue of four hostages in two places in the Nuseirat refugee camp, in the center of the Gaza Stripwhere it has carried out intense attacks.
The rescued hostages are Noa Argamani, 25, Almog Meir Jan, 21, Andrey Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 40, who were kidnapped by Hamas at the Nova music festival on October 7, according to the information provided by the Israeli Army.
The liberation occurred after a simultaneous operation against two hideouts of Hamas militias “in the heart of the refugee camp.” Argamani was freed at one and the other three hostages were extracted safely from the second target.
All of them are in good health and are already receiving medical attention at the Tel Hashomer hospital.
Nuseirat has been the scene of several bombings carried out by Israel this week, the last of them this Saturday and which has so far resulted, according to Palestinian medical sources, in at least 15 deaths and dozens of injuries.
With this rescue, of the 251 kidnapped on October 7, 116 captives remain in the enclave, at least 40 of them dead according to Israel – more than 70 according to Hamas -; while there have been four other hostages for years, two of them dead.
The release of the hostages has meant the delay of the appearance of the minister of Israel’s war cabinet Benny Gantzwho had called the media this Saturday at 8:40 p.m. local time (7:40 p.m. in Euskal Herria) predictably to announce that he is withdrawing from the emergency government.
