As we reported earlier, the IDF freed four hostages who were being held in civilian homes in a strike that the Biden administration had told it not to take. Even though President Biden opposed the operation, he took partial credit:

Whoever writes the chyrons over at CNN said there was a "hostage release."

"Rescue" would have fit perfectly in that chyron.

There was no "hostage release." Don't give Hamas credit for something it didn't do.
