Israeli forces conducted a daring and difficult operation in the tunnels under Khan Yunis, in Gaza, on Monday night to retrieve the bodies of six hostages who died in Hamas captivity.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Israel Security Agency (ISA, or Shin Bet, or Shabak) said in a joint statement:
Overnight (Monday), in a joint IDF and ISA operation, the bodies of the hostages Yagev Buchshtab, Alexander Dancyg, Avraham Munder, Yoram Metzger, Nadav Popplewell, and Haim Perry were rescued from the Khan Yunis area in the Gaza Strip.
The rescue operation was conducted under the command of the 98th Division and carried out by the Paratroopers Brigade, ‘Yahalom’ Unit, and the 75th Battalion, along with ISA forces.
The operation was enabled by precise intelligence from the ISA, IDF intelligence units, and the IDF Intelligence Directorate Hostage Headquarters.
Following an identification procedure carried out by the National Institute of Forensic Medicine and the Israel Police, the IDF Manpower Directorate’s Hostage team, which is responsible for accompanying the families of the hostages, notified their families and communities today. The IDF and ISA send their heartfelt condolences to the families.
The IDF and ISA are continuing to deploy all operational and intelligence means in order to fulfill the supreme national mission of bringing back all the hostages.

Israel needs to tell Blinken and Biden to go to Hell..................
Definitely time for a cease-fire /s
“...supreme national mission of bringing back all the hostages...”
The only “mission” the international community will let Israel embark upon without withering criticism.
Four of these men were late 70’s, 80. One was 35 and the last 50’s. Each of them a world.
Hamas must be eliminated, fractured and weakened so they can no longer regroup into a threat. Biden, Blinken and the rest have no conception of the reality. It is not a board game; it is survival.
fn cowards this blinkin idiot and his fiends
They call that a rescue???
hamass immediately called for the release of 6 hamass terrorists in exchange for the 6 israelis released.
Someone can’t spell ‘recovery’.
I guess "recovery" doesn't translate well.
I would release 60 Hamas hostages for these six.
...In pieces.
I'm not familiar with that idiom.
Hamass calls a body a “ hostage” and trades bodies like chattel to Israelis, who actually value human life and dignity
Yes. RIP to the dead. Send Hamas b.stards to their virgins. Trump 24
Each person—along with their beliefs and values—constitutes a world of potential, worth and promise. Whoever undermines or disrespects any person murders the infinite potential within them, and whoever encourages and uplifts others participates in the creation of endless possibilities.
My interpretation includes the realization that each person means the world to their loved ones and their loss destroys that world although that is not contained in the classic definition.
WONDERFUL! Thank you so much!
They have a point. /sarcasm
Are these bodies being kept in body bags? I doubt Hamas has kept them in refrigeration. How ghastly!
I read the article. They called it a rescue.
