A Return of Hostages
At 1:49 a.m. on February 11, 2024, Israeli special forces carried out a complex and perilous hostage rescue operation in Rafah. Israel's elite officers employed their bodies as shields to protect two hostages amidst a flurry of bullets during the dramatic pre-dawn raid that liberated the captives.
The success of the operation relied on a synchronized assault, which involved targeted airstrikes against Hamas terrorist positions. These airstrikes served to divert the attention of the terrorists and eliminate potential threats, thereby enabling the safe extraction of two Jewish hostages, Fernando Simon Marman and Louis Har.
Miraculously, with G-d’s help, Fernando, Louis and all the IDF soldiers involved in the mission returned home safely.
