The Haaretz newspaper quotes a commander from the police’s elite Yamam unite as saying that the two hostages were extracted from the building using ropes.
He says that the men were shocked at first from the explosions used to breach the apartment where they were being held, but “recovered quickly.”
“We came to rescue you. We came to take you home,” the commander recalls the rescuing troops as having told the two hostages, Norberto Louis Har and Fernando Simon Marman.
