The Israeli Army announced on Saturday that it freed four hostages Israelis, alive, in a “difficult” military operation in Nuseirat, in the center of the Strip Loop.
In “a difficult daytime special operation in Nuseirat, four Israeli hostages were freed” on Saturday morning, the military said in a statement.
They are Noa Argamani, 25 years old; Almog Meir Jan, 21; Andrey Kozlov, 27; and Shlomi Ziv, 40, all “kidnapped” by Hamas on Oct. 7 at the Nova electronic music festival, according to the military.
The hostages, according to the same source, were “rescued” in two different locations in the center of Nuseirat.
“They are in good medical condition and were transferred” to carry out further examinations on their physical condition.
The Israeli army had indicated hours before that it was carrying out operations against “terrorist infrastructures in the Nuseirat area”, north of the city of Deir al Balah, located in the center of the Palestinian enclave.
A spokesman for the Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al Balah, Dr. Khalil al Dakran, reported on Saturday the death of 15 people in “intense Israeli shelling” which, according to him, left dozens injured.
