Israel is celebrating its largest hostage rescue since waging a war on Hamas in the wake of its Oct. 7 attack. Today, four hostages were rescued alive during a heavy air and ground assault by the Israeli military. Dozens of airstrikes were carried out across Gaza in one of the deadliest assaults of the conflict. The Hamas-run health ministry says 210 people were killed.

The hostages were freed from two locations and taken out of central Gaza by helicopter. Soon after, there were tearful reunions with loved ones. The four Israelis — held captive in Gaza for eight months — are now back in their families arms. David Akin reports.

In Calgary, the city continues to press its residents to cut back on water use after a critical water main break on Thursday.

And 18 million people are at risk of starving. The UN warns this war could spur the world’s largest hunger crisis. Redmond Shannon reports.
