Hostages Rescued, and Many Truths Revealed
American Thinker ^ | 11 Jun, 2024 | John F. Di Leo

“There was a knock on the door. A voice said, ‘It’s the IDF. We’ve come to take you home.’”

This is how former hostage Noa Argamani described her rescue from Hamas on the Sabbath — Saturday, June 8 — which also happened to be her father’s birthday. Israelis spent the weekend cheering her rescue, along with the rescues of three other former hostages — Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv.

All four, ranging in age from 22 to 41, were kidnapped from the Nova music festival on October 7, Hamas’s notorious day of atrocities. Israeli intelligence recently determined with certainty that they were being held in two separate buildings in Nuseirat, in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli command — which rose to the level of the prime minister and the war cabinet itself — decided to conduct two raids simultaneously, at 11:25 a.m. Both buildings were heavily guarded by Hamas fighters, though the buildings looked, to all appearances, like regular civilian apartments. It took the intelligence work of Shin Bet — an apparatus of the Israeli intelligence service — to identify the difference: these “civilian apartments” were in fact military locations in which Hamas was illegally holding several innocent hostages they had kidnapped 245 days earlier.

One Israeli commando — Chief Inspector Arnon Zmora — was killed in the shootout that freed the three men. There were no Israeli losses in freeing Miss Argamani. Prime Minister Netanyahu named the operation after him; it will be recorded in the history books as Operation Zmora, a fitting tribute to a heroic counter-terrorist who grew up revering Prime Minister Netanyahu’s brother Yoni, the hero who died at Entebbe in 1976.

The weekend has been full of revelations.

Those of us who have constantly focused on the lack of a clear dividing line...

My guess is Ham-ass is hanging onto the remaining hostages like they are gold.

They are gold because Biden will pay millions each before the election since he cannot risk having Trump get them back for Israel.

There ARE no “civilians” in Dar Al-Harb.

“… these four hostages were found to have been held in “civilian” apartments, registered to Gazan civilians, but under 24-hour guard by Hamas militants, clearly making a mockery of the innocence of such “civilians.””

The sooner our civilized world wakes up to the fact islam is a thinly-veiled (pun intended) tyrannically-oppressive political system masquerading/camouflaged as a religion which presents an existential threat to us ALL, the better.

Dar es-Salaam too is a lie. There is NO peace among islamic factions.

Ba’al is a jealous, and bloodthirsty, desert moon god who demands frequent sacrifices as the price of admission to hell (or paradise, depending on which side of the earth you’re on).

There was a story out yesterday that the US was actually considering one on one negotiations with Hamas to release the US hostages. Only.

Talk about screwing over BiBi….These people in charge are the worst kind of idiots.

“Israel continues to impress with their steadfast resolve, aiming for the destruction of Hamas and the goal of finding some future in which the innocent people of Gaza, whatever percentage of them that might be, …”

It’s less than 1% so don’t even bother.

I still have not heard Biden mention the five US hostages.

Well, he doesn't mention, he mumbles, but that's neither here nor there. He will only mention something when his advisors have his writers write it for him to mention.
