Two men were kidnapped during the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7. IDF spokesman Richard Hecht said the operation to free the hostages was “very complex.” Explosives were planted in the building where the hostages were held.
Both released hostages are in good condition and are undergoing medical examination.
At the same time, Israel is carrying out intensive strikes on the city of Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have moved there after fleeing hostilities in other areas of the strip.
