VIDEO: Israeli Hostages Reunite With Family After Gaza Rescue
Israel Defense Forces Rescue Hostages from Hamas Terrorists in Rafah
In a daring operation, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) successfully freed two hostages from the clutches of Hamas terrorists in the southern Gazan city of Rafah. The heartwarming reunion between Fernando Marman, 60, and Louis Har, 70, and their families at Israel’s Sheba Medical Center was captured in a video shared by the IDF.
The IDF, led by Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, carried out the rescue mission by storming a civilian building where the hostages were held captive. This operation highlights the crucial role of ground operations in Gaza, as Hagari emphasized, “We have a moral obligation to bring all our hostages home, an obligation that we will continue doing everything in our power to fulfill.”
Under the cover of darkness, IDF troops breached the building using explosives while Marman and Har were asleep. According to Reuters, the hostages, who are also Argentinian nationals, appeared slightly thin, pale, and frail but were in overall good condition. Tragically, the airstrikes accompanying the operation resulted in the loss of 67 lives, as reported by Gaza’s Hamas-run health authorities.
Israel’s Plans and International Caution
Israel is now preparing for a larger operation in Rafah. However, President Joe Biden’s administration has strongly cautioned against it due to the presence of over a million Gazan civilians seeking shelter in the area as Israel advances through the enclave.
The successful rescue of Marman and Har follows Israel’s recent announcement that a fifth of the remaining hostages in Gaza have tragically lost their lives, with many falling victim to the initial abduction by terrorists during the October 7 attacks in southern Israel.

The element of surprise was crucial in order to minimize the risk to both the hostages and the rescue team. With precision and utmost care, the IDF successfully neutralized the Hamas militants guarding the hostages and swiftly extracted Fernando and Yoav to safety.

However, the skill and professionalism of the IDF soldiers prevailed, ensuring the safety of the hostages. The IDF’s commitment to preserving innocent lives was evident throughout the operation.
