The Israeli army released video footage on Monday (February 12) said to show a hostage rescue operation in Rafah, Gaza, as well as Israeli airstrikes in the area of Rafah during the operation.
The location of the footage was verified from the shape and position of buildings, roads and trees which matched satellite imagery of the area.
Israel freed two Israeli-Argentine hostages held by Hamas in Rafah on Monday in a ferocious rescue operation which killed 67 Palestinians in the southern Gaza city where about one million civilians have sought refuge from months of bombardments.
The mission by the Israeli military, the Shin Bet security service and a special police unit, freed Fernando Simon Marman, 60, and Louis Hare, 70, the military said.
