Israel says it has rescued four hostages alive from Gaza.
They are in a good medical condition, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said.
The hostages, who were captured by Hamas from the Nova music festival in October, were named as Noa Argamani (25), Almog Meir Jan (21), Andrey Kozlov (27), and Shlomi Ziv (40).
In a statement, the IDF said: “The hostages were rescued by the IDF, ISA and ‘Yamam’ forces from two separate locations in the heart of Nuseirat.
“They are in good medical condition and have been transferred to the ‘Sheba’ Tel-HaShomer Medical Centre for further medical examinations.
“The security forces will continue to make every effort to bring the hostages home.”
