The IDF has just announced that they ran an operation to rescue hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza tonight. They say two soldiers were seriously injured in the operation as they raided a Hamas location and eliminated terrorists.

Unfortunately they say no hostages were rescued in the operation:

The translation is below:

Two IDF soldiers were seriously injured tonight, during an operation in the Gaza Strip to rescue hostages from Hamas. The forces raided a Hamas location and eliminated terrorists who took part in the abduction and holding of the hostages. No hostages were rescued in this operation. A message was given to the families of the injured.

The IDF Spokesperson also writes:

The IDF continues to operate in a variety of operational and intelligence ways, together with the other security organizations, to free the abductees and gather information about them. IDF representatives are in regular contact with the families of the abductees and update them with any verified information about their loved ones.

The terrorist organization Hamas is trying and will try to produce psychological terror. Spreading unverified rumors and facts should be avoided.

I’m very glad to know the IDF is conducting such operations to free the remaining hostages. At the very least I hope they are getting good intel on their location.
