Background
On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel. As part of the attack, in which the Palestinian Islamic Jihad organization was also involved, thousands of rockets were launched towards the State of Israel and about 3,000 militants from the Gaza Strip infiltrated dozens of Israeli settlements and military installations and massacred the settlements and the "Nova" music party that took place nearby. As part of the attack, Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad kidnapped hundreds of Israelis, civilians and soldiers.[4] This attack led to the Israel-Hamas war.[4]
Rescue
At 13:33 it was allowed to be published that the IDF, the Shin Bet and the police in a three-way effort freed four Israeli hostages in Operation Four Israeli Kidnappers from Gaza.[3] The abductees were rescued in the morning that day, in daylight, from two different locations in the operation in the heart of Nusseirat. The abductees were released in normal medical condition, and they were transferred for further medical examinations at the Sheba Medical Center[3]. They were held in a civilian environment, which the IDF claims was used as a human shield. During the operation, the Southern Command and the Air Force returned fire at the Hamas terrorists who fired at the rescue forces.[1]
The operation was planned for several weeks, and was carried out after an intelligence opportunity was created.[1]
