Israel has demanded the release of two Israeli hostages from Rafah city in the besieged Gaza Strip. The country’s army said on Monday (February 12) that they were rescued in an operation by special forces. British news agency Reuters reported this news.
On October 7, the Palestinian armed group Hamas took about 240 Israelis hostage in Gaza. Among them were the two rescued Israelis.
The Israeli army said, after the rescue, they were taken to Sheba Hospital in the country. They are being treated there.
A hospital statement on the health of the two rescued Israelis said they were now in ‘good condition’. Doctors have confirmed this.
The Israeli military said it carried out a ‘series of strikes’ in southern Gaza on Monday. Which is now ‘finished’. However, they did not give any more details about this.
However, on the same day, Gaza authorities reported that the number of Palestinians killed in the latest Israeli attack in the city of Rafah had risen to more than 10. More than 150 people were injured in this attack. It is feared that the death toll may increase. Israeli forces bombed the area while most of the residents were sleeping.
