BBC World Service - Newshour, Israeli military: Four hostages rescued in central Gaza

Dozens of Palestinians are reported to have been killed or wounded in the operation

The Israeli military say they have rescued four hostages in a raid in central Gaza. Dozens of Palestinians are reported to have been killed or wounded in the operation.

Israeli security forces say they have rescued four hostages from two separate locations during a special operation in Nuseirat, in central Gaza. They have been named as Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov and Shlomi Ziv. All had been abducted by Hamas from the Nova music festival on 7 October. They are said to be in good medical condition and have been transferred to hospital. Gaza's Al-Aqsa hospital says at least 50 Palestinians - including children - were killed during the Israeli operation.
 
Also in the programme: the astronaut who took the ground-breaking first colour photo of Earth from space, William Anders, has died, and as Unesco celebrates Italian opera, we listen in.
