Israeli report refutes claim of hostage rescue attempt
Israel’s Channel 12 news reports that a Saudi claim of a hostage rescue attempt in Khan Younis is incorrect.
The channel, which is generally fed information from official Israeli sources, says special forces indeed entered Khan Younis, but indicates the rest of the al-Arabiya report on a purported hostage rescue operation is mistaken.
According to the channel, the special force has since exited the city without taking on any casualties.
