What it’s about:

Israel Police released a gripping video showcasing the elite Yamam unit’s daring rescue of Noa Argamani, held hostage in Gaza.

Why it matters:

This video demonstrates the bravery and determination of Israeli forces during “Operation Arnon,” highlighting their commitment to rescuing hostages and the operational risks they willingly take to ensure the safety of their citizens.

Details:

Israeli forces braved heavy fire while infiltrating the houses where Noa Argamani and other hostages were held.

“Noa, everything is fine, we’re taking you home,” reassured one Israeli operative after rescuing Argamani. Another operative is seen carrying her on his back, expressing their excitement and pride.

Noa Argamani was one of four hostages freed during the operation, a joint effort by Yamam, Shin Bet, and IDF operatives.

The rescue of Argamani was separate from the other three hostages, held in an apartment only 200 meters away.

The Big Picture:

This video release is the second from “Operation Arnon.” The earlier footage showed elite Yamam operatives raiding an apartment building in Nuseirat, rescuing hostages Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv.

Context:

Such operations underscore Israel’s readiness and capability to conduct complex, high-risk rescue missions to protect its citizens from the threats they face.
