Israel said Saturday it rescued four hostages who were kidnapped in a Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7, in the largest such hostage recovery operation since the war with Hamas began in Gaza.
Hamas kidnapped some 250 hostages during its attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, which triggered the Israel-Hamas war. About half were released in a weeklong cease-fire in November. Israel says more than 130 hostages remain, with about a quarter of those believed dead, and divisions are deepening in the country over the best way to bring them home.
Saturday’s operation is the largest recovery of alive hostages since the war erupted, bringing the total of rescued captives to seven. One of those rescued on Saturday, Argamani, has been one of the most widely recognized hostages since she was abducted from a music festival.
