DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel on Saturday rescued four hostages who were kidnapped in the Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7, the largest such recovery operation since the war began. At least 94 Palestinians including children were killed as heavy fighting continued around the sites in central Gaza, the Health Ministry said.

Saturday’s hostage recovery operation brings the total of rescued captives to seven. Two men were rescued in February and a woman was rescued in the aftermath of the October attack. Israeli troops have recovered at least 16 bodies of hostages, according to the government.

The latest rescue was expected to lift spirits in Israel at a time when the war is dragging on and divisions are deepening over the best way to bring hostages home.

Absolutely joyful news, mostly on reading that 100 terrorists were killed. This has gotten so bad that I have NO feeling or empathy for Palestinians, Hamas and even worse ideas of what must happen to ANYONE who supports them over here.

At least 94 Palestinians including children were killed as heavy fighting continued around the sites in central Gaza, the HAMAS Health Ministry said.

The AP always "forgets" that.

And about what actually happened:

Amir Tsarfati:
About 200 terrorists guarded the abductees.
At the beginning of the operation, about 50 ran away. 55 were killed and the rest neutralized with various injuries.

Based on the typical prisoner exchange between Israel and the P-Squatters, Israel has come out on top... They usually give the squatters 100+ prisoners for every Israeli hostage. They got four hostages back and the P-Squatters are down 97.

Excellent!

Do you suppose some of the little kids that were celebrating 9/11 turned out to be hang glider hamas-sholes on 10/7?

One of the 'children' released by Israel during a previous 'hostage' exchange... BTW - How many Palestinian 'children' get 5 O'clock shadows at 12 noon?

It takes three mental midgets and AI to write a garbage piece where they can’t help themselves to highlight Palestinian women and children dead in their screed.

Most likely the kids died in the same way most others die in gaza — being forced to stand in front of a hamas coward while he is shooting at others.

If the kid is >4 years old he is lost to reason until he hits ~24years. This has been proven in Britain — if the little savages are not acclimated to civilization by age 4 they won’t improve until they grow out of in in early twenties.

HOW THE MEDIA WILL REPORT ON ISRAEL RESCUING HOSTAGES:

“Palestinians killed today after four Israelis left a Gazan airbnb without paying”

I wouldn’t be shocked

Misprint. Should have read: 91 Hamas terrorists.
