WATCH: Israeli police released new helmet-camera footage from the Nuseirat hostage rescue operation, showing the rescue of Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv after 246 days in Hamas captivity.
• The hostages were held at two separate locations about 200 meters apart. Commanders said heavy fighting erupted as forces moved in, but troops quickly reached and extracted the captives.
• Arnon Zamora HY”D, the Yamam commando for whom the operation was later named, was mortally wounded during the rescue, reportedly just meters from the hostages. The force continued and completed the mission.
• Commanders described the daylight raid as one of the war’s most complex operations, requiring precise coordination between two simultaneous rescue sites.
