Hamas’ armed wing, the Al Qassam Brigades, claimed that it was aware of the rescue operation carried out by Israeli special forces.
Al Qassam also claimed that several Israeli special forces personnel were killed and injured in the clashes. However, they did not specify the number of Israeli soldiers killed or injured.
Quoted Reuters On Friday (8/12), Hamas identified the Israeli soldier who was its hostage as 25 year old Sa’ar Baruch.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military did not immediately respond to Hamas’ claim about one of its personnel being killed.
During its attack on Israel on October 7, Hamas took more than 200 people hostage, including soldiers and foreigners, in Israel.
This Hamas attack was the trigger for Israel’s brutal aggression against Palestine, especially the Gaza Strip, which has killed more than 17 thousand civilians.
Israeli troops once rescued a soldier who was being held captive by Hamas in Gaza around the end of last October. Meanwhile, dozens of Hamas hostages have also been freed in a ceasefire agreement with Israel on November 22.
Even so, brutal Israeli aggression is continuing in the Gaza Strip following a ceasefire period which ended without further extension
