“We repelled from the balcony as the world erupted outside”: A Yamam Operator, the hero who rescued Fernando and Luis, has now revealed every detail. Four days after the audacious operation in Gaza, the fighters, step by step, recount what transpired, unveiling never-before-seen video clips.
All the intricacies of the visual operation are laid bare: the explosion of the apartment door where Luis and Fernando were held, the ensuing fire from all directions, the moment they shouted to Fernando and Luis, “IDF has arrived,” the gripping scene as they pulled Luis by his leg when he inadvertently crawled towards the terrorists and the remarkable repelling from the second-floor window while carrying Luis and Fernando.
In a triumphant declaration on the walkie talkies, the Operators exclaimed, “The diamonds are in our hands,” as they guided Fernando and Luis to safety.
Once safely home, Luis, overwhelmed with gratitude, expressed to the fighters, “I can’t begin to express the joy you brought us by bringing us home. You said we were the diamonds, but here you guys are the brightest diamonds there are. The moment I saw you guys, I felt safe and secure once again.”
