SHOCKING: "We knew where the hostages were, we just couldn't rescue them" IDF Intelligence reveals

A ceasefire agreement has been reached, and new details surrounding Israel’s hostage rescue operations have emerged. A senior Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) intelligence officer disclosed that Israel had knowledge of the locations where most hostages were being held. However, these sites were under constant surveillance, with captors maintaining heavy security, making any rescue attempt highly risky. Tragically, many soldiers lost their lives in the attempt to free the hostages, including six who were executed during a rescue mission last week.

Despite the extreme danger, Israeli forces made repeated efforts to seize any opportunity for rescue, even attempting to exploit moments when captors might let their guard down. "Our heroes made constant attempts, hoping the guards would make a mistake, look away, and give us the chance to save them," the officer stated.

Over 400 Israeli soldiers lost their lives in these daring operations, demonstrating extraordinary courage and sacrifice. "These are brave warriors who gave everything for their brothers and sisters. We must always remember their courage and sacrifice," the officer added.

As the conflict moves forward, the IDF and the State of Israel continue to honor the sacrifices of these soldiers. "May God bless these heroes, the State of Israel, and all those fighting against terror," the officer concluded.
