The Israeli army announced the liberation of four hostages alive in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip in a qualitative operation in which several Israeli security agencies participated.
The army said that the hostages were rescued by the Israeli Army, Shin Bet, and Yamam forces from two separate locations in the heart of Nuseirat.
Their health condition was described as good, and they were transferred to the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer for further medical examinations.
The army published the names of the freed hostages: Noa Argamani (25 years old), Almog Meir Gan (21 years old), Andrei Kozlov (27 years old), and Shlomi Ziv (40 years old), saying that Hamas had kidnapped them from the Nova music festival on October 7.
The Israeli army had previously said that it was targeting militant infrastructure in the Nuseirat area in Gaza in an unusual announcement of an “ongoing operation.”
Very violent explosions were heard in the Nuseirat camp while the Israeli army fired dozens of shells towards the camp.
Israeli Channel 12 reported news that a large number of warplanes participated in an exceptional bombing and attack on the Nuseirat camp area in the central Gaza Strip.
The Israeli army also launched a raid on the vicinity of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah, causing dozens of wounded, in conjunction with a violent air and artillery bombardment east of the city, in which helicopters participated.
