Two Israeli hostages have been rescued from captivity during a raid by special forces in Rafah in southern Gaza, the Israeli military has said.<\/p>\n

The army named them as Fernando Simon Marman, 60, and Louis Har, 70, both taken from Kibbutz Nir Yizhak in the 7 October Hamas<\/strong> attacks.<\/p>\n

They were rescued from a residential building in a raid that also killed at least seven people, according to Palestinian officials.<\/p>\n

Witnesses reported at least 17 airstrikes, flares and Apache helicopter fire.<\/p>\n

Israeli military spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Richard Hecht said the operation was based on “precise intelligence”, and the site, located on the second floor of a building, had been watched for “some time”.<\/p>\n

Both the rescued hostages were airlifted to Sheba Hospital in central Israel and are said to be in good medical condition.<\/p>\n

Dr Yael Frenkel Nir, deputy director Sheba Medical Centre, told journalists: “I am very excited this morning, we received news three hours ago of the arrival of two returnees by helicopter to us at Sheba.<\/p>\n

“Their condition seems good. We are at a preliminary evaluation and testing them regarding their condition, and due to lengthy time in captivity more tests are expected in the coming two days.”<\/p>\n

Idan Bergerano, Mr Har’s son-in-law, told Israel’s Channel 13 TV that he and his wife were able to see the two men at the hospital.<\/p>\n

He said both were thin and pale, but communicating well and aware of their surroundings.<\/p>\n

Mr Marman and Mr Har are the second and third hostages to be rescued safely. A female soldier was rescued<\/strong> in October.<\/p>\n

Israel says about 100 hostages remain in Hamas captivity.<\/p>\n

It comes after a series of Israeli strikes hit Rafah this morning, despite warnings<\/strong> from US President Joe Biden<\/strong> not to conduct a military operation in the Gaza border town without a plan to protect civilians.<\/p>\n

The Israeli military said it struck “terror targets in the area of Shaboura”, a district in Rafah.<\/p>\n

The military statement said the series of strikes had concluded, without elaborating on the targets or assessing the potential damage or casualties.<\/p>\n

Local health officials in Rafah said at least 37 people were killed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
