The Israeli army has said that a female soldier held captive by Hamas has been rescued by the IDF.

In a statement, the IDF and Shin Bet said that Corporal Ori Megidish has been reunited with her family members and is in 'a good condition.'

Israeli authorities would not confirm any additional details, including where in Gaza Megidish was rescued from.

She was kidnapped by Hamas in the early hours of the October 7 massacres, from the Nahal Oz observation base just outside the Gaza Strip.
