Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu congratulated the IDF and the Shin Bet for the broad operation they conducted to free Private Ori Megidish, who was taken captive to the Gaza Strip.
“Yesterday, our forces freed Private Ori Megidish from Hamas captivity. Ori was taken captive on the black morning of the 7th of October. Welcome home, Ori,” Netanyahu said. “I congratulate the Shin Bet and the IDF for this important and exciting achievement, an achievement which expresses our commitment to bring about the release of all the hostages. All the People of Israel salutes the Shin Bet and salutes the IDF.”
"And to the terrorists of Hamas and ISIS I say – you are monsters,” he said. “We will continue to pursue you, we will continue to hunt you. We will strike you until you fall at our feet.”
