Four Israeli Hostages Rescued from Hamas
Four Israeli hostages were rescued in a military operation this weekend by Israeli Special Forces.
The operation, which took place in Nurseirat, Gaza, freed Almog Meir Jan (21), Shlomi Ziv (40), Noa Argamani (25) and Andrey Kozlov (27).
This is the moment the IDF rescued the hostages. Heroes of Israel.

Two buildings that were under the control of Hamas were raided by Shin Bet agents and the Yamam counter-terrorism unit.
The hostages were taken captive whilst attending a music festival on the Israel-Gaza border. This occurred during the terrorist attack committed by Hamas in Israel on October 7, 2023.

This means these hostages were held by the terrorist group for over 240 days.
One member of the Israeli military was wounded in the operation whilst around 100 Palestinians were killed or wounded. Meanwhile, Hamas is claiming over 270 people were killed and 700 people were wounded.
Israel just carried out one of the most heroic hostage rescues in history. Leave it to the moral trash of the Left to weep for Hamas and its civilian collaborators, and to blame Israel for civilian deaths.

Hamas has been lying all throughout the war that was initiated after they committed acts of war against Israel on October 7th. This was finally admitted to by the Associated Press who said the terrorist group has been falsifying all of the casualty statistics.
In some sort of state of disillusionment, Hamas says the operation was brutal and barbaric which is disgustingly fascinating seeing as they are the ones who committed acts of terror and war against civilians in Israel and then holding hostages. Truly an astounding statement.
Terrorist sympathizers gathered outside the White House to protest Israel’s successful operation that saved 4 hostages from captivity in Gaza.

We should be celebrating Israel’s act of heroism — not savage terrorists.

It is estimated that roughly 251 hostages were taken during the terrorist attack on October 7 and whilst there have been hostage rescue attempts, there are still 116 who are believed to still be in the hands of Hamas.
In November of 2023, 105 hostages were released by Hamas in a truce.
