Gefen Sigal Ilan said the whole family was happy about his return, along with her mother’s partner.

 

“I want to thank all the people who made all their effort to save them, save their lives,” she said.

 

Ms Ilan said she was also sorry for “the losses of the soldiers of today.”

 

The IDF said earlier that two soldiers of its Magellan special unit were killed in combat in southern Gaza before the rescue operation.

Israel started its war on Hamas on October 7 after Hamas carried out an unprecedented operation against the occupying entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

Israel has imposed a complete siege on the densely populated territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.

So far, the Israeli regime has killed at least 27,585 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 67,000 others.
