Hostage

The video was composed of body camera footage from Shayetet 13 soldiers who participated in the operation. In it, the two rescued hostages spoke with the soldiers in a helicopter.

David Cunio and Ariel Cunio were both kidnapped on October 7, 2023 from Kibbutz Nir Oz, where more than a quarter of the approximately 400 residents were either killed or abducted.

"The perpetrator has been captured," Deputy Superintendent Wichian Soboon told Reuters, adding that two people - a student and a teacher - were wounded in the incident.

"Raping, murdering, smashing heads, desecrating bodies, burning babies, kidnapping civilians, and torturing them 24/7, is that not a violation of the international convention?" said Cohen.

Now in its fourth year, the Jewish Digital Summit, which will take place Feb. 24 through Feb. 26, promises to be more dynamic and impactful than ever.

On several occasions, IDF troops were directly above the tunnels where terrorists had hidden hostages, and had to be misled or distracted so that the terrorists could transfer the hostages elsewhere.

"I didn't really do my service, the way I see it. I served for ten months until I was kidnapped," Cohen said in an interview for N12's Ulpan Shishi.

Maj.-Gen. Ghassan Alian of Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, when asked how many Gazans Israel killed, mentioned Hamas’s figure of 70,000 without checking or knowing.

The pin was removed in a solemn ceremony organized by the Families, Commemoration and Heritage Division at the Defense Ministry, following the return of Gvili's body to Israel from Gaza.

The encounter happened on January 12, 2025, on the same day as another meeting between the Qatari officials, Lapid's team, and the representatives of the Gaza hostages' families.
