The Shin Bet publishes images from the security agency’s special operations war room amid the rescue of hostages Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv from the Gaza Strip earlier today.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi and Shin Bet head Ronen Bar together commanded the operation, in which officers of the police’s Yamam unit and Shin Bet agents rescued the four hostages.
