Gaza: images of the release of the 4 Israeli hostages
(France 2)
The release of four Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip constitutes a significant step forward in the conflict in the Middle East. The Israeli army provided its images of this operation.
The Yamam unit commando is about to enter the house. With heavy fire, the Israeli army provides these images passed to military censorship. We discover an apartment there. The sound is cut, the guards have been killed, but the images do not show it. Then, the hostages appear in a room. “We are here”we can hear on the recording. “We are here to save you, stay calm”, the soldiers replied. The commando exfiltrates them, then we see them running on the on-board images of a soldier.
The neighborhood is very populated near a popular market. According to the Israeli army, Hamas opened fire with grenade launchers in the street. The death toll would be 274, including women and children, according to the Hamas Ministry of Health. The Israeli army speaks of a death toll of around a hundred. The hostages say they were held in apartments, not tunnels.
