Israeli forces rescue hostage taken by Hamas in Gaza
Meanwhile, Israeli military kills five Palestinians during air strike in West Bank

The rescue brought a rare moment of joy to Israelis amid months of grinding war.
But the release is also another painful reminder of about 110 hostages remaining in captivity despite efforts to broker a ceasefire deal as the Israelis continue its operation against the Palestinians in both Gaza and the West Bank.
