Revital Nasi, the sister of hostage Shlomi Ziv who was rescued in this morning’s operation in Gaza, expresses her gratitude to the family of the officer killed in the operation.

“We are so sorry and just want to say thank you,” she says tearfully in a direct address to the family of Chief Inspector Arnon Zmora, a Yamam officer critically wounded in the operation who died of his wounds.

“We have to bring everyone home, and it can’t always be through military operations,” she says on Channel 12, echoing the hostage families’ calls for a deal with Hamas.

US President Joe Biden announced last week what he described as an Israeli proposal for a hostage-ceasefire deal. Hamas has not yet formally responded to the proposal, but officials in the terror group have reiterated their insistence that any agreement must guarantee an end to the war, a demand Israel has repeatedly ruled out.
