The father of Almog Meir Jan, one of the four hostages rescued from Gaza on Saturday (8), died in his home on the same day, hours before news of his son’s rescue was reported, according to Israel’s emergency services.
Yossi Meir’s death was also confirmed by his sister to Channel 11, an affiliate of CNN .
Authorities found Meir unconscious when they went to notify him of his son’s rescue and he was later pronounced dead in his home by emergency services, authorities told CNN.
Almog Meir Jan, along with Noa Argamani, Andrey Kozlov and Shlomi Ziv, were freed from captivity at two separate locations in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza by an Israeli special military operation with the help of US intelligence.
At least 236 people died in the operation and hundreds were injured, according to health authorities in the enclave.
