Incredible: Israel Pulls Off Epic Hostage Rescue Deep Inside Gaza

The Israeli government announced the successful execution of a dramatic and daring rescue operation in which two hostages being held by terrorists in a Rafah apartment were freed. They were returned home. Alive. The details of how this was achieved read like something out of a thriller novel, or perhaps more aptly, an episode of the show Fauda (as was this amazing surgical raid against senior Hamas operatives late last month). Additional details are emerging, including footage of the rescue helicopter touching back down on Israel soil. Imagine the relief and joy of those tormented families. According to the government, “many terrorists were eliminated tonight in this action,” which is an added bonus from this mission."
