Israel has successfully rescued four hostages from Gaza, including two attendees and two security personnel from the Nova music festival.

During the rescue operation, one Israeli soldier died, and Hamas claims that 210 Palestinians were killed around the rescue area.

The rescued include Noa Argamani, 25, a Ben Gurion University student whose abduction was widely publicized.

Argamani's boyfriend, Avinatan Or, remains missing since October 7.

She was at the festival when taken and has Chinese heritage.

Her mother has since been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Almog Meir Jan, 21, another attendee, was captured while with a friend who was later killed.

Jan was about to start a new job in Israel’s high-tech sector.

His mother campaigned for his release and met with Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Andrey Kozlov, 27, originally from St. Petersburg, Russia, had moved to Israel 18 months before the festival and was working as a security guard.

His mother came to Israel to aid in his release.

Shlomi Ziv, 40, also a security staff member, was taken while trying to leave the festival in a bottleneck of cars.

He was accompanied by a friend and a relative of his wife, both of whom died.
