🔴 Holy shit! WOW.
New footage of the IDF rescue mission for hostage Noa Argamani.
These people are heroes! Surrounded by armed Islamist terrorist groups on every side, hostages hidden inside a civilian home.
Just.. there is not an army on the planet that can pull off something like this.
The Israeli Defence Forces have lived and breathed counter terrorism since Israel was founded.
They are the world’s experts. Fighting on the frontlines against the most barbaric terror groups on the planet.
My heart goes out to them.
TWO FAMILY TIED UP DURING FARM ATTACK NEAR PAARL
A farm attack and home invasion were reported near Ridgeback Winery in Agter Paarl last night, 3 June 2026, where a family was allegedly tied up and robbed by five men wearing balaclavas. The suspects reportedly invaded the property and carried out the robbery while concealing their identities.
Another farm invasion was also reportedly confirmed in the Stellenbosch area on the same night, although details surrounding that incident remain limited.
The report further highlighted several farm attacks and violent robberies recorded over the years in Paarl, Stellenbosch, and surrounding areas, noting that many involved armed suspects wearing balaclavas, victims being tied up or assaulted, and in some cases murders and theft of firearms. Authorities are expected to investigate the latest incidents.
