Allowing publication of details of Israeli failed rescue attempt for female prisoner in Gaza
Channel 12 reported that the military censorship allowed the publication of details of a failed rescue attempt for a prisoner in Gaza about a year ago.
According to the channel, "About a year ago, a special military force set out on a mission to free the captive Noa Argamani (whom the army announced last June that it had recovered along with 3 Israeli captives after a military operation in the Nuseirat camp). The special unit's fighters thought they were going to rescue Argamani, but it later turned out that the intelligence information they had obtained was wrong, and that the captive in the place was a captive named Saher Baruch."
She added: "The fighters reached the building, opened the entrance door, and immediately at the first moment the gunmen opened fire on them with a heavy barrage of bullets, and the rescue operation suddenly turned into an operation to evacuate the wounded, as a number of members of the special unit were seriously injured during the confrontation."
After that, the channel says: "The fighters returned after many hours, and at that time the Military Intelligence Service (Aman) received intelligence information that shocked everyone, as it turned out that the person who was in the building was not Noa Argaman, but the prisoner Sahar Baruch, who was captured from his home in Be'eri."
She continued: "During the rescue operation and the fierce battle that took place inside the building, Sahar was killed by a gunshot to the head, and to this day, it remains unclear whether he was killed by the militants or was accidentally hit by the forces' fire."
The channel quoted the Baruch family as saying, "The military pressure may lead to the deaths of the prisoners. We hope that no more deaths of this kind will occur, and that all the prisoners will return as soon as possible through a deal."
