“Israel finally woke up to some good news: Two elderly hostages were rescued from captivity in Gaza! In the middle of the night, Israeli commandos landed on the roof of a building in Rafah that they had been studying inside and out. They had intel that two Israeli hostages, Fernando Marman (61) and Louis Norbeto Har (70), who had been kidnapped from within their homes in Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak were being held on the second floor of the heavily guarded house in Gaza. There were a great number of Hamas terrorists to overcome, but the IDF had done their homework.
The timing was critical. They had to surprise the terrorists and catch them off guard. After planning their strategy for quite some time, the whole rescue operation took place within an hour.
The IDF had been studying a model of the building and were familiar with every window, door, and corner in order to plan the rescue to the smallest detail. The hostages were held in an area that was not only densely populated but swarming with terrorists. The heroic rescue was carried out on the night of February 11, under heavy gunfire, and their professionalism paid off.”
