The Israeli prime minister has congratulated the Israeli military and Shin Bet on another successful operation, following the rescue of an Israeli captive, in a post on X.

According to Al Jazeera, he said his government is working “tirelessly” to secure the release of the remaining captives through two methods: negotiations and operations.

Both ways, he said, require “our military presence in the field and unceasing military pressure on Hamas.”

“We will continue to act like this until we get everyone home”, he concluded.
