"We are here to rescue you": Video shows moment Israeli elite forces find hostages in Gaza
Israeli police on Monday released dramatic footage of troops from Israel's elite counterterrorism unit rescuing three hostages from Nuseirat, central Gaza, on Saturday. . Eight months after they were taken in a deadly incursion, Israeli forces last week rescued four hostages alive from two locations in central Gaza.
The four hostages, including three men and one woman, were kidnapped at the Nova music festival in southern Israel on October 7 last year. They have been identified as Noah Al-Ghamani, 25, Almog Meir Yan, 21, Andrei Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 40. A video released by Israeli police shows officers storming into the home of Hamas terrorists who are holding three Israeli men hostage.
There's nothing wrong.
When officers arrive in one room of the house, they see the three hostages crouching amid heavy gunfire and explosions. "Hebrews, Hebrews, where are you all?" an Israeli police officer can be heard shouting at the men, according to the Times of Israel. "Look, here they are," another officer says.
"Name, name," the first officer, Meir, calls out to Jan and Kozlov, and they answer by name. After confirming the identities of the three, the officer said: "The three (hostages) are in our power." "Everything is OK. We're here to save you, stay calm," the officer said, hitting Meir Jan on the head with his fist. The video then cuts to the hostages being escorted from the area by Israeli officers.
The eight-month war in Gaza that began with a Hamas attack in October has ended. On the 7th, 116 of the roughly 250 hostages abducted by militants were left behind in the Palestinian enclave. Authorities declared in absentia that a total of 40 had died. A top Israeli military spokesman said the rescue operation took place amid gunfire, under armed guard by militants, in the middle of a residential area where Hamas had hidden the hostages among Gaza civilians.
"We are very happy to be here."
In a televised press conference, spokesman Maj. Gen. Daniel Hagari said an Israeli soldier had been seriously wounded. He said Israeli forces had fired a counterattack, including airstrikes. The Gaza Health Ministry said at least 55 Palestinians were killed in the Israeli operation. A video of Al-Ghamani receiving a phone call from Israeli President Isaac Herzog was circulated by his office.
"I'm very happy to be here. Thank you for everything, thank you for this moment," a smiling Al-Ghamani said as he sat in a hospital room with his father. In another video, Al-Ghamani said he was "very moved" by the phone call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It's been a long time since I've heard Hebrew."
