Friends of Almog Meir Jan, one of four Israeli hostages rescued from captivity in the Gaza Strip since the Oct. 7 attack, gather outside Sheba Tel Hashomer medical center in Ramat Gan for a photo with him after the hostage was transferred. As conflict between Israel and the militant group Hamas continues in the Palestinian territories on June 8, 2024, Israel announced it had rescued four hostages alive from a Gaza refugee camp on June 8, as the group escalated attacks despite oversight over a deadly attack on a UN-run school. The four were kidnapped by Hamas from the Nova music festival during the Oct. 7 attack that sparked the war, the army said. (Photo: Jacques Ghez/AFP via Getty Images)

The Israel Defense Forces said the hostages were rescued during a “complex” operation in two locations in Nuseira, central Gaza.

The rescued hostages are the first to be held since two were freed in a February attack.

Meanwhile, Israel says another 130 hostages remain in Gaza, but a lack of information about their captivity means it may remain a mystery whether they are alive or not.

Cheers rang out across Tel Aviv’s beach as lifeguards announced the success of the operation.

A video was broadcast of Arugamani embracing his father after the reunion. Israel News 12.

Additionally, Israeli President Isaac Herzog and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke by phone with Al-Ghamani after the rescue operation.

She and the three other former hostages are in good health and are being treated at Tel Hashomer hospital in central Israel, Haaretz reported.

“On behalf of the Israeli people, I thank the IDF, the Israel Police and the IDF for their incredible and daring rescue operation and hope for the swift return of all abducted victims to their families. Israel lives!,” Herzog said in a post on X on Saturday.
