Bring them home.
That’s been the cry for many supporters of Israel in its fight against Hamas, the terrorist group that on October 7, 2023, murdered over a thousand and kidnapped hundreds in the largest slaughter of Jews since the holocaust.
On Saturday morning, Israeli special forces did just that, writes CNN.
Four hostages have been freed in a special operation in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, Israel’s military says, as Palestinian officials reported more than 50 people killed in strikes in the same area.
Noa Argamani, 25, Almog Meir Jan, 21, Andrey Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 40, were rescued by the Israeli military, intelligence and special forces from two separate locations in Nuseirat, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Saturday.
All four were kidnapped from the Nova music festival on October 7, according to the IDF.
“They are in good medical condition and have been transferred to the ‘Sheba’ Tel-HaShomer Medical Center for further medical examinations,” the IDF added.
Argamani’s rescue is especially uplifting for Israel. During the attack, she was seen reaching out her arm and screaming, “Please don’t kill me,” as terrorists drove her away on a motorbike in one of the most widely-shared videos from the attack.

Now, 245 later, new footage has been released showing her smiling as she hugs and kisses her father.
Later, according to reports, Noa was passed a phone so she could speak directly with Israel’s President Isaac Herzog.
“On behalf of the entire people of Israel, I thank the IDF, the Shin Bet, the Israel Police and the Israel Defense Forces for an impressive and daring rescue operation, and I wish for the speedy return of all our abductees to their families. Israel Lives!,” Herzog said.
Israel has stated that roughly 130 hostages remain in captivity. Many of them are feared to be dead as a result of their treatment from Hamas.
