The hostages \u2063had been abducted during the Nova music festival on October\u200d 7, a day marked by severe violence as Palestinian terrorists breached a ceasefire, resulting in over 1,160 deaths.\u200c The IDF \u2062mission\u200c involved penetrating central Gaza \u200cand engaging in a combat\u200d situation, where they\u2062 managed to keep their \u200dcasualties under 100 while confronting Hamas terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>The rescue was also marked by\u200b differing portrayals in\u2062 the\u200c media, highlighting issues of reporting in conflict zones.
