Fernando Marman (61) and Louis Har (70) were freed in a joint operation by the Israeli army, the domestic intelligence service Shin Bet and a special unit of the Israel Police. The two hostages were kidnapped on October 7th by a Palestinian family from Kibbutz Nir Itzhak to the Gaza Strip. After an hour, the operation was over and the hostages were taken by helicopter to Sheba Hospital in Tel Aviv. They are in good health.
It was around 3:00 a.m. when I received the news that two Israeli hostages had been freed in Rafah, shortly afterwards we reported about it on Telegram. Rescues like this raise the morale of the population, and that is very important in such times. It also strengthens Israel’s position vis-à-vis Hamas in negotiations over a possible hostage release. Hamas only understands violence, not words or diplomacy.

Praying the Lord will give Israel victory over Hamas and give the IDF the ability to rescue all the hostages. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ!
Amen! Israel has to trust the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. HE is the one who said Hamas (Amalekites) MUST BE DESTROYED!
