It has been cleared for publication that in a complex operation by the IDF, Shin Bet, and the Israel Police (Yamam), four Israeli hostages were rescued this morning (Saturday). The hostages, Noa Argamani (25), Almog Meir (21), Andrey Kozlov (27), and Shlomi Ziv (40), were kidnapped by Hamas to the Gaza Strip from the 'Nova' party on October 7th.
The hostages were rescued by Shin Bet and Yamam fighters from two different locations in an operation in the heart of Nuseirat.
Their medical condition is stable, and they have been transferred for further medical examinations at the 'Sheba' Medical Center in Tel HaShomer.
Many, myself included, believed that any remaining hostages would be dead by now. Not so!
A Times of Israel report from April:
It’s the last wish of a dying mother, to be with her daughter once more. But six months into Israel’s war against Hamas, time is running out for Liora Argamani, who hopes to stay alive long enough to see her kidnapped daughter come home.
“I want to see her one more time. Talk to her one more time,” said Argamani, 61, who has stage four brain cancer. “I don’t have a lot of time left in this world.”
Her wish finally granted.
