Fernando Herman and Louis Norberto, two Argentinians held hostage by the fundamentalist and terrorist group Hamas, have been freed, the Israeli press surprisingly reported on Sunday night.
Both are among more than 240 hostages taken by the terrorist group in its ferocious attack on October 7, in which 1,200 people were killed on Israeli soil. Since then, Israel has waged a fierce battle in the Gaza Strip against the group that until then ruled the Palestinian territory.
According to the influential newspaper The Jerusalem Post Office, the Shin Bet, the secret service of the Jewish State, the Israeli Defense Forces and the special police forces freed two Hamas hostages this Monday morning in the Middle East. It is in the heart of Rafah, in the Gaza Strip, that Israel is carrying out a strong offensive.
According to the Israeli press, around 1 am, the operation that freed the two Argentine hostages of Nir YitzhakHerman, 61, and Norberto, 70, began dozens of air strikes against Hamas’ Shabura battalion. It was reported that this was done in such a way that the true objective of rescuing the hostages was not understood.
According to what is known, two relatives of these hostages were previously released during the hostage exchange from November 23 to 30.
“The operation had been planned for some time, but was continually cancelled”the Post indicated.
“The hostages were held on the second floor of a heavily guarded building, as well as by other guards in the building next door.”
Other Argentines remain hostages in Gaza, including little Kfir Bibas, his two parents and his little brother Ariel. The four are the faces of the moving and tragic stories of the hostages of the terrorist group.
