... that Hugo Torres Jiménez(pictured) was the only Sandinista guerrilla to participate in both the 1974 raid that freed Daniel Ortega and the 1978 National Palace raid that freed 60 more political prisoners? (Sources: "Torres es el único guerrillero sandinista que estuvo en las dos más grandes operaciones militares del FSLN contra Somoza: la toma de la casa de Chema Castillo y la del Palacio Nacional. Incluso él fue uno de los guerrilleros que participó en la operación para sacar a Daniel Ortega de la cárcel en 1974." Díaz López, Karen. "Policía Captura a Los Opositores Dora María Téllez, Ana Margarita Vijil, Suyén Barahona, Hugo Torres y Víctor Hugo Tinoco." La Prensa, June 13, 2021, via ProQuest. and “Hace 46 años arriesgué la vida para sacar de la cárcel a Daniel Ortega y a otros compañeros presos políticos. En 1978 volví a arriesgarla junto con Dora María Téllez y otros compañeros para liberar a aproximadamente 60 presos políticos” La Prensa, June 14)
ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)
Comment: I realize the hook is slightly over character limit. I’d be grateful for suggestions on expressing this more succinctly (or possibly an IAR exception?)
Overall: I have the advantage of knowing Spanish and I could verify the accuracy of the sources cited. It's alright. I agree with the length of the hook and I thought of a new one that could be "that Hugo Torres Jiménez was the only Sandinista guerrilla to take part in two raids that released over 60 prisoners, including Daniel Ortega?

That’s great, thank you CoryGlee! I’ll format it and strike the other, to save the promoter the effort:
