Staff Reports
Last Saturday, Israel bravely rescued four hostages from the grips of Hamas terrorists in Gaza. The operation involved undercover surveillance and a raid that seemed like it came out of an action movie.
Israeli officials received a tip on May 12 regarding the hostages’ location in Nuseirat. From that moment, every branch of Israeli intelligence focused on the area 24/7 to pinpoint the exact location. A special Israeli undercover unit was sent to confirm the location where the hostages were being held. After more than two weeks of undercover surveillance, the unit verified the hostages’ location in two nearby buildings.

To prepare for the daring rescue operation, another team of undercover soldiers, including women dressed as locals, was sent to the refugee camp to gather more information on the hostages’ location. Once the location was confirmed again, the Israeli War Cabinet approved the rescue operation.
The Israeli forces executed the rescue operation with precision, storming both buildings simultaneously. Despite facing unexpected heavy fire and encountering around thirty Hamas terrorists, the Israeli forces successfully rescued Noa Argamani and the three other hostages. Tragically, Commander Arnon Zamora lost his life in the line of duty during the mission.
The Israeli forces successfully neutralized all the terrorists inside the buildings, despite being outnumbered. They faced further danger as they made their way out of the buildings, with terrorists firing at them from nearby tunnels. However, with the assistance of tanks, infantry soldiers, and paratroopers, the Israeli forces managed to clear an escape route and safely transport the hostages back to Israel.
The IDF reported that the 104 casualties during the operation were all Hamas terrorists or armed civilians collaborating with the terrorist organization.
The bravery and precision demonstrated by the Israeli forces in rescuing the hostages from Gaza is a testament to their unwavering commitment to protecting their citizens from terrorist threats.
