Four people, whose lives were turned upside down on October 7, 2023 at the Tribe of Nova festival, were saved during a deadly Israeli raid. But the Israeli Prime Minister is now trying to resolve a political crisis.

They were kidnapped on October 7, 2023 at the Tribe of Nova electro music festival, in southern Israel. Four Israeli hostages were rescued by the IDF during an operation in the Nusseïrat refugee camp, in the central Gaza Strip, the Israeli army announced on Saturday.

"Noa Argamani (25 years old), Almog Meir Jan (21 years old), Andrey Kozlov (27 years old) and Shlomi Ziv (40 years old) were rescued during a special operation carried out in broad daylight by the IDF, the Shin Bet and the Israeli police in two separate locations in the heart of Nusseïrat after being kidnapped by Hamas during the Nova" music festival, explains the Israeli army on its account X.

The day their lives changed

That day, Noa Argamani was filmed, imploring the terrorists not to kill her while she was put on a motorcycle, trapped between two terrorists. His companion, also kidnapped, is still detained, according to Le Parisien.

This October 7, 2023, Almog Meir Jan also went to the festival, in the Negev desert, to relax, on the eve of his entry into office in a Tech company.< /p>

After the death commandos arrived on site, the young man called his mother. He explained that he had been hiding and promised to give her news every half hour.

Contact was then broken. Andrey Kozlov and Schlomi Ziv, the last two released hostages, were festival security agents. The oldest, Schlomi Ziv, forty-year-old, decorator in the city, was there as an extra, to give a helping hand to his wife's cousin.

Under pressure from Gantz

The four hostages released"are in good health and have been transferred to the Sheba Medical Center in Tel-HaShomer for additional medical examinations", specifies the Israeli army. But an Israeli special forces soldier was killed during the operation.

Hamas announced on Saturday a toll of at least 210 dead and more than 400 injured in these Israeli attacks of a rare scale on the Nousseirat camp. "We will not stop working until all the hostages have returned home", responded, Joe Biden , in Paris.

This resignation which worries Netanyahu

The proposed ceasefire agreement, defended by the United States, also provides for the release of all the hostages. It has still not been validated by Hamas. But Benyamin Netaynahou actually has another priority to manage.

The Israeli Prime Minister urged his rival Benny Gantz on Saturday evening not to leave the "emergency government", despite the dissensions that emerged between the two men over the post-war period in Gaza. Benny Gantz had canceled, a little earlier, the press conference he was to give this Saturday to announce his resignation, after the announcement of the release of the hostages.

If the government falls, he is favored to form a new coalition.
