According to the report, upon confirming the hostages' location in Nuseirat, Israeli forces constructed detailed mock-ups of the buildings to rehearse the rescue.
The Nuseirat refugee camp is located in the middle of the Gaza Strip, deep inside Palestinian territory. It was in one of the camp's many markets that Hamas had kept Israeli woman Noa Argamani, a 26-year-old woman who had been dramatically captured on video pleading for her life while being taken into Gaza, as hostage. Unbeknownst to Ms Argamani and three other hostages in the area, Israeli commandos had infiltrated the camp to launch a daring rescue operation to free them, a report by the Washington Post says.
At 11 am on the day of the rescue, Israeli soldiers burst into the apartment where Ms Argamani was being held, declaring, "You are being rescued!"
The rescue mission, which also freed Almog Meir Jan, 22, Andrey Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 41, was marked by intense preparation and military engagement. Planned for weeks, the operation involved thousands of troops, advanced technological support, and precise execution the report says. Israeli intelligence, with US assistance, analysed digital data, drone footage, and communications intercepts to locate the hostages.
