Video: How Israeli forces rescued hostages from Hamas captivity in Rafah

India Today  

Israeli forces on Tuesday shared footage of the rescue mission freeing two Israeli-Argentine hostages held by Hamas in Rafah. The footage showed a special police unit rescuing 60-year-old Fernando Simon Marman and 70-year-old Louis Hare from Rafah, where nearly one million civilians have sought refuge from months of bombardments. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday's rescue showed that military pressure should continue and he brushed aside international alarm at plans for a ground assault on Rafah. In the Israeli-occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Authority's official television station, Palestine TV, said 74 Palestinians were killed in the Israeli operation in Rafah.
