Israel announced over the weekend that they have rescued four hostages captured by the terrorist group Hamas on October 7.
Israel’s army said it rescued Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv, in a complex daytime operation in the heart of Nuseirat.
The military said it attacked “threats to our forces in the area” in an effort to rescue the hostages.
Earlier last week, four additional hostages kidnapped by the terrorist group Hamas were declared dead.
Nadav Popplewell, Amiram Cooper, Yoram Metzger and Haim Peri all have been pronounced dead, according to the Hostages Forum, a group representing the families of the hostages.
“It is time to end this cycle of sacrifice and neglect,” Hostages Forum, a group representing the families of the hostages, wrote in a statement following the announcement. “Their murder in captivity is a mark of disgrace and a sad reflection on the significance of delaying previous deals.”
