The Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet security agency say a soldier captured by the Hamas terror group has been rescued from the Gaza Strip in an overnight operation.
In a joint statement, the IDF and Shin Bet say Pvt. Ori Megidish is in good condition, and has met with her family.
The IDF says Megidish was rescued during a ground operation overnight, but no further details are given.
Megidish was an observation soldier, taken hostage by Hamas when terrorists stormed the Nahal Oz base on October 7.
