This is pretty incredible.

The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) pulled off the rescue of four Israelis who were taken hostage by Hamas, including a young woman whose kidnapping video went viral online.


Four Israeli hostages kidnapped by Hamas from the Nova music festival during the group's 7 October attacks have been rescued in a daylight raid deep in central Gaza.

Noa Argamani, 25, Almog Meir Jan, 21, Andrei Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 40, were freed during a 'high-risk, complex mission' from two separate buildings in the Nuseirat area, the Israel Defense Forces said.

According to the IDF, the hostages are all in good medical condition, but they were taken to a hospital for monitoring.

Watch video of their return.

One of the hostages, Noa Argamani, went viral after a video showed her being taken hostage during the October 7 attacks in Israel.

You can see that video and her being reunited with her dad here:

Noa's boyfriend who was also taken hostage is still missing.

The rare rescue of hostages - a joint operation conducted by the IDF, Israel Security Agency and Israel Police - comes eight months into war with Hamas in Gaza.

IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari said the mission was based on "precise" intelligence and that Israeli forces came under fire during the operation.

Honestly, it's a miracle every time we find one of these hostages has been found alive.

We continue our prayers for safety and peace.
