The IDF has described the daytime operation, ‘Seeds of Summer’, as a ‘high-risk, complex mission’ that was surgical in its precision.
Israel Defense Force’s Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said the rescue mission was planned for weeks using precise intelligence.
The conflict, the deadliest in Gaza’s history, started with a deadly attack by Hamas on southern Israel on October 7, resulting in 1,189 Israeli deaths and 252 hostages taken. Israel’s response has been relentless, with the Gaza Health Ministry reporting over 36,801 deaths, mostly civilians.
