Two soldiers were "severely injured" during a hostage rescue operation overnight in the Gaza Strip, with Hamas claiming a captive was killed in the attempt.
Hamas dragged around 240 hostages back to Gaza after its bloody 07 Oct attack on Israel and fears for their safety have gripped the Israeli public over the course of the eight-week war.
The Israeli army is quoted as, "two IDF soldiers were severely injured during an operation to rescue hostages held by Hamas. During the operation, numerous terrorists who took part in the abduction and holding of hostages were killed. No hostages were rescued in this action".
128 hostages are still held by Hamas, sources say.
My take
Any rescue operation undertaken, goes through great planning, rehearsals to the extent feasible prior to the actual assault and each individual has a role to play. So, when even one goes out of action, the results can have disastrous overtones......even affect morale!
Feel bad for the IDF!
Tailpiece.
Got up at 6, the chores and was ready by a quarter to 10.
The maid had come by for work and so, the day didn't feel like it was a Sunday!
The evening chores. The work of grass cutting around Raj Nivas has been left for completion on Monday.
