NextImg:An Israeli Raid Rescued Two Hostages and Killed Dozens, Officials Say

A raid by Israeli special forces in the southern Gazan city of Rafah this morning secured the freedom of two hostages of Hamas, the military said, the second known rescue of its kind in Gaza since the start of the war. To provide cover, Israel’s military said it had launched a wave of attacks, which Gaza’s health ministry said resulted in the deaths of dozens of Palestinians.

The two men who were rescued are dual citizens of Israel and Argentina. Here’s the latest.

The operations were met with elation in Israel, where hostage recovery is a top priority, and fear in Gaza. More than a million Palestinians have crowded into Rafah, many of whom have fled their homes during the war. Some Palestinians worry that the raid was just the beginning of extended Israeli operations in the city.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has signaled that Israeli ground forces will eventually enter Rafah with the goal of eliminating Hamas battalions there, despite U.S. warnings that an attack on the city would be disastrous.
