Israel hostages rescued: 4 found alive by IDF in Gaza operation | LiveNOW from FOX

Four hostages held for more than eight months in Gaza have been rescued, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday.

The IDF identified the four hostages as Noa Argamani (25), Almog Meir Jan (21), Andrey Kozlov (27) and Shlomi Ziv (40). They were rescued from two separate locations in a special operation conducted alongside the Israel Security Agency and Israel police.

Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, the IDF spokesperson said the four were held in the heart of Nuseirat after being abducted by Hamas from the Nova Music Festival on October 7.

Hagari said all four were transferred to Sheba Hospital and are in “good medical condition.”

Friday marked eight months since the attack by the Hamas terror group on Israel that launched the war in Gaza.

Nearly 80 of the hostages taken by terrorists in the attack are still believed to be alive in Gaza, being held captive alongside the remains of 43 others.

Let us all pray for the family of the Israeli soldier, a great hero, who succumbed to his wounds from the rescue operation. May his memory forever be a blessing and prayers for his wife and children.

You can’t tell me that 4 hostages were buried amongst a heavy population without that population knowing they were there
The population is as guilty as Hamas
Thank the lord for their freedom

I’ve been waiting on a story like this for 8 months. I got goosebumps when I saw this story!

UN adding Israel on the list of shame will not change Israel in anyway, because Israel is a Sovereign state and it has all the right to defend itself.

The God of Abraham, Isack and Jacob never lies. He never changes, He is the same today, yesterday, tomorrow and forever and ever. Glory to Him in the Highest and Long live Isrsel.
