The army said it had rescued Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov and Shlomi Ziv in an operation in Nuseirat.
Israel says it has rescued four hostages who were kidnapped in a Hamas-led attack on October 7, in the largest hostage recovery operation since the war with the militant group began in Gaza.
Israel says more than 130 hostages remain, with about a quarter of those believed dead, and divisions are deepening in the country over how to bring them home. Saturday’s operation is the largest recovery of living hostages since the war erupted, bringing the total of rescued captives to seven. Ms Argamani, has been one of the most widely recognised hostages since she was abducted from a music festival.
