#8 Sometimes there are miracles, M. But the statement is in response to the Antifa protesters in Israel trying to force the Israeli government to sue Hamas for peace in the hope of getting the hostages back. Instead, as he and we know, the way to get the hostages back is Si vis pacem, para bellum.

IDF spokesman says 4 hostages rescued in ‘daring’ mission with forces ‘under fire’

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the operation to rescue four hostages from Hamas captivity in central Gaza’s Nuseirat earlier today was “daring.”

He says hostages Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv were rescued by special forces while “under fire.”

“During the operation, we struck… threats to our forces in the area. These threats were struck from the land, air, and sea… in order for us to rescue the hostages,” he says.

Hagari also speaks briefly in English:

#13 It's certainly a common trope of action stories. "Nobody's looking for me now. They're all sure I'm dead."

#14 Certainly not my assessment. One of those times in which I am delighted that I was wrong.

#16 Glad to be wrong. Hope they can live past the experience. Hope if any others alive they aren't made examples of.

#17 In a densely populated "refugee camp"...
Nobody noticed that there were Israeli hostages, of course. I guess Sgt Schultz ("I See Nothing") is Palestinian now.

#24 Via Instapundit:
The EU weighs in
EU's Josep Borrel calls the hostage rescue 'another massacre of civilians'

From what little I've read, the rescue sounds like an Entebbe-class operation. Seriously impressive.
