IDF: Two Israeli hostages rescued overnight from Gaza in joint operation
Jerusalem has affirmed to Western media sources that approximately 100 civilians remain hostage in the Hamas terror groups captivity after the October 7 attacks on Israel. However, The Israel Defense Forces confirmed they were able to free two hostages during a special forces night raid.
The announcement came Monday that two men, Fernando Simon Marman (60) and Louis Har (70) are both in good medical condition after being rescued during a joint operation between the IDF, ISA and Israel Police.
The men were being held in the southern Gaza City of Rafah before they were rescued.
Foreign Desk News reports:
The two former captives were transported for medical evaluations to Sheba Hospital where they were confirmed by doctors to be in “good condition.”
IDF Spokesperson, Lt. Col. Richard Hecht, described the rescue mission as being based on “precise intelligence,” and that the location of their imprisonment had been monitored for “some time.”
During the initial abduction, two of Marman’s sisters and his 17-year-old niece were also kidnapped by the rampaging invaders. The three women were eventually set free on November 28 as a condition of a ceasefire agreement brokered by Qatar and the United States.

President-Elect Trump to Hamas: ‘Release Hostages Now’ or there will be ‘Hell to Pay’
Following the release of a Hamas propaganda video with footage of Israeli-American soldier Edan Alexander, 20, alive after over 420 days in captivity, as well as the IDF having confirmed the death of American-Israeli Captain Omer Neutra who was abducted during the October 7th attack, Trump is not mincing words.
United States President-elect Donald Trump declared Monday that there will be “hell to pay” if the hostages held by Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists in Gaza are not freed before his inauguration on January 20. The message marked the first time since November’s election that the former chief executive commented on the situation facing captured Israeli citizens in the coastal enclave, reports Foreign Desk News.
Writing on his Truth Social account, the former president warned the captors, “Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume Office as President of the United States, there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity. Those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW!”
During the October 7, 2023, massacre in southern Israel, the invaders kidnapped 251 individuals after killing almost 1,200 civilians and responding security forces.
Following negotiations and rescue operations led by the Israeli military over the past year, authorities in Jerusalem estimate about 60 of the 95 remaining abductees are still alive, adds FDN.
