Andrey Kozlov, one of the four Israeli hostages rescued from Gaza on Saturday, is urging Israelis to gather Saturday at "Hostage Square" in Tel Aviv in support of the hostages and their families.

"I'm already in Israel at home. But a lot of hostages are still there in Gaza," Kozlov, 27, said in a video message. "I saw a lot of rallies on Saturday, and it gave me a lot of hope."

Kozlov’s girlfriend told ABC News this week that Kozlov was psychologically tortured while in captivity, and she said that he told her the moment he realized the Israeli soldiers were there to save him, he felt he was reborn.

The situation on Israel’s northern border with Lebanon remains tense.

Two women were killed and 20 people were injured in the village of Janata in southern Lebanon after an airstrike on a house late Thursday night, the Lebanese Civil Defense said in a statement.

Since Friday morning, at least 50 projectiles were launched from Lebanon toward Israel, the Israeli Defense Forces said.

"A number of the projectiles were intercepted," the IDF said.

"As a result of the launches, a fire broke out in the area of Kfar Szold," the IDF added.

Hezbollah issued statements taking responsibility for nine attacks on Israeli sites Friday.

Israeli forces returned to Jenin, in the West Bank, on Thursday to conduct what they called a "13-hour counter-terror operation" that left three killed, two detained and multiple injured, according to the local Palestinian Red Crescent Society.

Bulldozers were filmed in central Jenin, where UNRWA said there was heavy damage, as well as in the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin, where the Israeli forces say they conducted a "pressure cooker" procedure on a house where they say two senior terrorists were staying.

Two suspects were killed, according to the IDF statement. The PRCS reports three killed and multiple people injured by shrapnel and beating.

The IDF reported two died in the operation.

When Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu heard the reports on Sunday about a daily "tactical pause" along an aid route, he contacted his military secretary and made it clear that this was unacceptable to him, an Israeli official told ABC News.

After an inquiry, the prime minister was informed that there was no change in Isreal Defense Forces policy and that the fighting in Rafah would continue as planned, the official said.

IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari released a statement in Hebrew shortly after announcement saying the pause will affect a single aid route.

"There is no cessation of fighting in the southern Gaza Strip, and the fighting in Rafah continues," Hagari said. "Also, there is no change in the introduction of goods into the Gaza Strip."
