The hostages were rescued during a “complex” operation in two locations in Nuseirat, central Gaza, the IDF stated.

The rescued hostages are the first ones since two others were freed during a raid in February.

Meanwhile, Israel has stated that another 130 hostages remain in Gaza, but whether they’re alive could be a mystery as a result of deprivation from captivity.

Cheers were seen throughout the beaches of Tel Aviv after lifeguards announced the successful operation.

Videos surfaced of Argamani embracing her father after being reunited was broadcast by Israel News 12.
