"Israel Rescues Two Hostages in Rafah Amid Deadly Air Strikes"

Israel conducted a special forces operation in Rafah, freeing two Israeli hostages held by Hamas while launching air strikes that killed 37 people and wounded dozens. The hostages, Fernando Simon Marman and Louis Hare, were in good condition and taken for medical checks. The operation involved the IDF, Shin Bet security service, and the Special Police Unit. The air strikes caused widespread panic in Rafah, with concerns about a potential ground offensive. U.S. President Biden urged Israel not to launch a military operation without a credible plan for the safety of civilians, while Egypt warned of "dire consequences" of a potential assault on Rafah.
