🇮🇱🇵🇸 The Israel Defense Forces have reported that they conducted a rescue operation in the center of Rafah, located in the south of Gaza Strip, to free two hostages: 70-year-old Luis Jara and 60-year-old Fernando Simon Marman. These individuals were abducted by militants from Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak. According to a report from the Israeli command, IDF soldiers covertly made their way to the residential building where the hostages were being held. They then breached one of the walls and engaged in a firefight with Palestinian militants. Once the hostages were released, the Israelis withdrew from the scene accompanied by armored vehicles. The Palestinian media has provided minimal coverage of this incident, in stark contrast to the extensive bombing of the city that followed shortly after the operation. Videos depicting significant destruction of residential buildings and mosques in the central areas of the city have been shared online. Simultaneously, last night was one of the most challenging for the residents of Rafah since the beginning of the escalation. According to Hamas, over 100 people were killed in the city and approximately 200 others sustained injuries of varying severity. The group has already appealed to the League of Arab States and the UN Security Council, urging them to take immediate action. #Israel #Palestine Источник: Rybar in English
