The IDF released the following statement on Saturday:
"It has been cleared for publication that in a complex operation by the IDF, Shin Bet, and the Yamam unit of the Israel police four Israeli hostages were rescued this morning (Saturday).
The hostages, Noa Argamani (25), Almog Meir (21), Andrey Kozlov (27), and Shlomi Ziv (40), were kidnapped by Hamas to the Gaza Strip from the 'Nova' party on October 7th.
The hostages were rescued by Shin Bet and Yamam fighters from two different locations in an operation in the heart of Nuseirat.
Their medical condition is stable, and they have been transferred for further medical examinations at the 'Sheba' Medical Center in Tel HaShomer.
Security forces will continue to make every effort to bring back the hostages."
The original article contains 132 words, the summary contains 127 words. Saved 4%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Since you mention it I wonder how many Israeli hostages the IDF killed with their indiscriminate bombing.
One of the hostages released in December said "We were in tunnels, terrified that it would not be Hamas, but Israel, that would kill us, and then they would say Hamas killed you,"-this was Ina report from Ynet.
Another released hostage: "The reality is that I was in a hideout that was bombed, and we became wounded refugees. This doesn't even include the helicopter that fired at us on our way to Gaza"
So it seems pretty sure IDF killed at least a few of their own while bombing the shit out of Gaza.
