JERUSALEM (VINnews) – Two years after the daring Operation Arnon, Israel’s Yamam counterterrorism unit on Sunday released helmet-camera video showing the intense June 8, 2024, daylight rescue of four hostages from Hamas captivity in Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp.

The operation freed Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov and Shlomi Ziv, all of whom were abducted from the Nova music festival during the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas massacre in southern Israel.

The newly released clips capture fierce close-quarters combat as Yamam operators fought through heavy fire to reach the hostages, the emotional moment rescuers located them, and the radio transmission declaring, “Hostages in our hands.”

Chief Inspector Arnon Zamora, 27, was fatally wounded in the fighting, just meters from the three male hostages he helped save. Despite his death, the team completed the mission successfully.

Yamam commanders described the raid as a complex daylight double rescue conducted simultaneously in two buildings approximately 200 meters apart. Operators eliminated Hamas guards under heavy fire, extracted the hostages within minutes and withdrew with air support.

The operation marked the unit’s second successful live hostage rescue during the ongoing war against Hamas.

The footage honors the bravery of the Yamam operators and pays tribute to Zamora’s ultimate sacrifice in service of the mission.

All four rescued hostages were reunited with their families and have since begun rebuilding their lives after more than eight months in captivity.
