Amidst the euphoria surrounding the rescue of Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov and Shlomi Ziv, Israel remains a country in mourning. The cost of the heroic rescue included the life of Yamam special forces commander Arnon Zamora z’l, 36, who led the assault on the apartment in which the three male hostages were held. And in the days preceding the rescue, the IDF announced that four of those taken hostage on October 7 had been killed in captivity, likely in January. They were Nadav Popplewell z’l, Amiram Cooper z’l, Yoram Metzger z’l and Haim Peri z’l. The latter three, all in their 80s, were abducted from Kibbutz Nir Oz.
