Revision as of 20:06, 8 June 2024

On 8 June 2024 the IDF and the Yamam killed 210 Palestinians, including children, and injured over 400 in a joint operation on the Nuseirat refugee camp.[1] Four Israeli hostages held by Hamas at Nuseirat were rescued in the operation.[2][3] One of the rescued hostages was Noa Argamani.[4] The Gaza Health Ministry did not say how many of the casualties were combatants.[5] Al-Aqsa Hospital was overwhelmed with casualties, while communications were disrupted by intense Israeli bombing.[6]

The massacre came two days after an Israeli airstrike in the Nuseirat refugee camp hit the UNRWA-run al-Sardi school that was sheltering displaced Palestinian refugees, killing more than 30 people, including 23 women and children.[7]

Assault

An Israeli military spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, said that the rescue mission took place in the heart of the residential neighborhood in the Nuseirat refugee camp, where the hostages were reportedly ke[t in two separate apartment blocks. A local resident and paramedic called the attack like a "horror movie" and that Israeli drones and warplanes fired throughout the night at peoples homes and those who tried to flee.[5]

Social media footage that was unable to be verified immediately by Reuters, showed the aftermath of the assault showed bodies with entrails hanging out on blood stained streets.[5]

  •  Germany: Chancellor Olaf Scholz wrote that the rescue of the hostages was a "important sign of hope", adding that "four hostages are now free. Hamas must finally release all hostages. The war must end".[14]
  •  United States: United States President Joe Biden lauded the rescue of the hostages.[15]

Organizations

  •  United Nations: UN Secretary General António Guterres stated that he had sent messages to the families of rescued hostages Noa Argamani and Shalomi Ziv, in order to express his "relief that they and two other hostages are now free." Guterres added, "I renew my appeal for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages and for an end to this war."[16]
  •  European Union: A top European Union diplomat Josep Borrell condemned the level of casualties in the Nuseirat refugee camp as a result of the rescue, calling it "...another massacre of civilians". He also called for a ceasefire and the release of all remaining hostages.[17]
