Israeli Ground Forces Advance Inside Gaza, Rescue Female IDF Soldier

Israeli troops appear to have advanced more than two miles into Gaza over the weekend, just as the first of the more than 200 hostages captured by Hamas militants, a female soldier, PVT Ori Megidish was rescued by Israeli Defence Forces, IDF.

The video, taken Saturday and published by an Israeli media outlet, is one of the first glimpses into where Israeli ground forces have been since expanding ground operations in Gaza overnight Friday.

On Sunday, the IDF said it exchanged fire with Hamas and struck military structures, “some of which contained Hamas terrorists.”

Hostage rescued

A female Israeli soldier who was kidnapped by Hamas, PVT Ori Megidish, was rescued during IDF ground raids, the Israeli military said Monday. “The soldier was medically checked, is doing well, and has met with her family,” it said.

But another family’s hopes were crushed with an announcement by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which said Monday that 23-year-old Shani Louk had been declared dead. Louk, a German-Israeli woman, was kidnapped from the Nova music festival on October 7, after Hamas breached the border between Gaza and Israel.

Hamas also released a second short hostage video showing three women who are believed to be captive held by the militant group.
