"Inside Israel's Daring Hostage Rescue Raid in Gaza"

Israeli forces conducted a raid in Rafah, Gaza, rescuing two Israeli-Argentine hostages held captive by Hamas. The hostages, Louis Har and Fernando Marman, were kidnapped in October during a Hamas attack on a kibbutz. The raid involved intense strikes, resulting in dozens of casualties, according to Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry. Israel's military described the operation as a "complex rescue under fire," with one soldier lightly wounded. Palestinians reported heavy gunfire and widespread destruction in the area, with at least 67 people killed and many more injured. Hamas condemned the attack as part of Israel's "genocidal war," while the Palestinian Authority's foreign ministry denounced it as a "massacre."
