Noa Aragamani, one of the four rescued Israeli hostages, celebrated her father’s birthday after being reunited with her family. The 26-year-old - who was held captive for 246 days - was moved to Ichilov medical centre in Tel Aviv, where her mother is treated for terminal brain cancer. Staff brought a cake for Noa’s father, Yaakov, who celebrated his birthday on Saturday 8 June. Israel carried out its largest hostage rescue operation since the latest war with Hamas began, taking four to safety out of central Gaza in a heavy air and ground assault. At least 251 Palestinians, including children, were killed in the operation.
