Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomes the rescue of hostages Fernando Simon Marman, 61, and Norberto Louis Har, 70, in a daring nighttime operation in Gaza’s Rafah.
“Fernando and Louis – welcome home,” the premier writes on X.
“I salute our brave warriors for the bold action that led to their liberation. Only the continuation of military pressure, until complete victory, will result in the release of all our hostages,” Netanyahu writes. “We will not miss any opportunity to bring them home.”
