The operation, or rather, the simultaneous operations that led to the release of the four Israeli hostages in the hands of Hamastook place in Nuseirat, in the center of the Strip south of Gaza City and north of Khan Yunis.

The announcement by IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari
The rear admiral Hagarispokesperson for the Israeli army, confirmed that it is the first time in the world that the security services have succeeded in an undertaking of this type, especially considering that the four were held hostage in a densely populated areadescribing the operation in Nuseirat as one of the most complicated ever conducted.
The operation, which was based on precise intelligence indications, had been programmed and aborted twice already. Only this morning at 11:00 (10:00 Italian time) the anti-terrorism special forces raided the two sites which were civilian houses inside two different residential buildings transformed into hostage detention centers.

The operational order only arrived today because there was the certainty of being able to reach the hostages before the Hamas terrorists could open fire and kill them.

Now we need to understand whether the four former hostages, during their period of imprisonment, were moved from one place of detention to another and, in particular, whether they spent periods inside the terror tunnel in Gaza. In this case it is essential to have a map of their movements in order to understand if there is the possibility of further actions for the release of other hostages you still live in the hands of terrorists.
Many details of this operation are still under censorship and only in the next few hours will we have a better picture of the situation and possible developments.
