'Here in Israel it [the rescue of two hostages] was seen as a boost for morale' Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has hailed the rescue of two hostages yesterday as “a perfect operation”, and he went to meet with some of the Special Forces involved, FRANCE 24 Senior Reporter Catherine Norris Trent tells us from Jerusalem. “Here in Israel, it [the hostage rescue] was seen as a boost for morale [. . .] but it was accompanied by air support, which means air strikes, which the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says killed some 67 people.”
