PREVIEW

This video footage shows the rescue of two Israeli hostages from Rafah in Gaza.
The pair have been named as Fernando Simon Marman, aged 60, and Louis Har, 70, from Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak. They were taken on 7 October when Hamas attacks over the border into Israel killed an estimated 1,200 people and resulted in the taking of more than 200 hostages. Israel estimates around 134 remain in captivity. More than 60 Palestinians reportedly died during Israel's first Rafah operation on Sunday. The country's leaders have faced calls not to undertake major military operations in the area as an estimated 1.5 million Gazans have fled to the area.


The Israeli military said the two rescued hostages were in "good medical condition". Following the rescue they were transported to Sheba Tel Hashomer and have been reunited with their family.
