Police release dramatic footage from the hostage rescue operation in southern Gaza’s Rafah early Monday morning.
The headcam video shows officers of the elite Yamam counterterrorism unit breaching into the building where Fernando Marman and Louis Har were being held.
The officers killed three Hamas terrorists guarding the pair and extracted the two hostages.
The two hostages were then taken by the forces in armored vehicles out of Rafah, then put in a military helicopter that brought them to Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan for examination, where both are listed in good condition.
