Four Israeli hostages taken by Hamas from a music festival during the group’s October 7 terrorist attack were rescued alive Saturday during a raid on the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces, the security service Shin Bet, and the Israeli police announced in a joint statement.
25-year-old Noa Argamani, 21-year-old Almog Meir Jan, 27-year-old Andrey Kozlov and 40-year-old Shlomi Ziv were all kidnapped at the Nova music festival. They were recovered after the IDF announced it was striking “terrorist infrastructure” in central Gaza.
The joint statement said the hostages were rescued from two different locations during the operation, and that “their medical condition is normal.”
The freed Israelis were sent to the Tel Hashomer Sheba Medical Center for further medical examination, the joint statement said. Family members could be seen arriving at the hospital on Saturday to greet their loved ones.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu said Israel does not give into terrorism and was operating “creatively and bravely” to rescue the hostages. “We will not let up until we complete the mission and return home all the hostages, both those alive and dead,” Netanyahu said.
