The Israeli military said it had rescued four captives from central Gaza in a "complex daytime operation" in Nuseirat refugee camp and taken them to hospital in good condition.

Those rescued were named as Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov and Shlomi Ziv.

The four, who were reportedly in good health, were taken to Tel Hashomer hospital for further evaluation.

All four were captured by Hamas on 7 October from the Supernova music festival. Pictures on Saturday appeared to show Argamani hugging her father after being released.
