Hostage rescue location info came from Shin Bet interrogation


The bodies of five Israeli hostages from Gaza on Thursday was made possible by the intelligence obtained by Shin Bet interrogations of terrorists, said former Shin Bet officer, Yossi Amrosi on Friday morning. The operation recovered the bodies of three civilians and two IDF soldiers who were kidnapped from Khan Yunis and taken hostage on October 7, the Jerusalem Post reports.

Amrosi said that "this was an operation that arose from intelligence deriving from Shin Bet investigations, carried out by investigators at detention facilities. In this war, there are a high number of detainees, and for the Shin Bet, it's like an intelligence treasure trove."

He went on to say that Shin Bet was able to gather the information "very quickly" into  "high-quality intelligence that would help the IDF soldiers in the field." The interrogations by the investigators led them to the exact location of the five bodies. "There is no doubt that these interrogations bring high-quality data," adding that seven hostages have been rescued alive as a result, referring to the separate rescues on June 8th, February 12th, and October 30th.

"Terrorists who two days ago were fighting you in the field and are now suddenly brought to the facilities, and the interrogators must use many methods and tricks to make them speak. It is very satisfying. You are an investigator of a Gazan terrorist, so of course, the first thing you will ask him is what he knows about the hostages." Amrosi said.

He also noted that "the moment the IDF told the population to leave that area [Khan Yunis], everyone left, including the terrorists, leaving the bodies unattended. Therefore, I strongly believe that the IDF is determined."

"We will continue the work and will not give up until we reach all the hostages, both the living and the dead," he promised.

Who would have believed on October 8th that this war would still be going on? However, many now believe that the fate of the hostages still in captivity looks very grim.

As far as the deceased Israelis now recovered, may their memory be a blessing to us all and may G-d protect the IDF and Israelis under attack.

Am Yisrael Chai!
