These four individuals, including Noa Argamani, were kidnapped during the October 7 attack at the Nova music festival. While Argamani was freed from one location, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv were held elsewhere, requiring a distinct rescue mission.
The operation, named "Seeds of Summer" by the IDF, was meticulously devised over weeks, relying on precise intelligence to ensure both the hostages' safety and the mission's success. Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari of the Israel Defense Force praised the operation's surgical precision, noting its high-risk nature.
The hostages' abduction followed a violent Hamas assault on southern Israel on October 7, which resulted in 1,189 Israeli deaths and the kidnapping of 252 people. Israel's subsequent relentless actions led to over 36,801 deaths in Gaza, with civilians suffering the majority of the casualties.
