IDF rescues soldier held hostage by Hamas

Private Ori Megedish, an IDF soldier, was rescued during the IDF’s operation in Gaza on Sunday night, the IDF and Shin Bet said in a joint statement on Monday.

She was kidnapped by the Hamas terrorists on October 7 and has now been reunited with her family.

A subsequent medical examination administered to Megidish has determined that she is healthy.

The statement noted that the IDF and Shin bet will continue to make every effort to secure the freedom of the remaining hostages.

President Isaac Herzog was quick to state his happiness for Megedish’s rescue in a statement on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday night.

“I was moved to see the soldier Ori Megedish return home to her loving family after a daring operation by the IDF and Shin Bet,” Herzog wrote. “Our security forces operate around the clock in Gaza, in the north, in Judea and Samaria, and everywhere, on land, in the air, and at sea.”

“Last night, our forces freed Private Ori Megedish from Hamas captivity. O)ri was abducted on the dark morning of October 7th,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. Welcome back home, Ori. I commend the Shin Bet and the IDF for this significant and emotional achievement, an achievement that reflects our commitment to bringing all the captives home. All of Israel pays tribute to the Shin Bet and the IDF. To the Hamas terrorists and to Daesh, I say – you are monsters. We will continue to pursue you, we will continue to hunt you down. We will strike you until you yield from our grip.”
