On 8 June 2024, an operation was carried out by Yamam, the Shin Bet and Israel Defense Forces units in the Nuseirat refugee camp, during which 274 Palestinians were killed and over 600 injured, according to the Hamas media office and health officials from Shuhada al-Aqsa Hospital and Al-Awda Hospital. According to reports, Al-Aqsa Hospital was overwhelmed with casualties, while communications were disrupted by intense Israeli bombing. Four Israeli hostages held by Hamas at Nuseirat were rescued in the operation. One of the rescued hostages was Noa Argamani.
The event took place 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 12 women and children.
Assault
See also: 2024 Nuseirat rescue operationAn 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 kept in two separate apartment blocks. The operation reportedly involved hundreds of troops and heavy air support that indiscriminately hit parts of the refugee camp.
In addition, a large firefight occurred as IDF special forces were attempting to disengage with the hostages, reportedly coming under fire from dozens of militants with RPGs and machine guns when their vehicle became stuck necessitating defensive airstrikes which may have killed civilians. A local resident and paramedic called the attack like a "horror movie" and that Israeli drones and warplanes fired throughout the night at people's homes and those who tried to flee.
According to the IDF, Hamas pays Palestinian families to hold the hostages in their houses, which may account for the high casualties.
Social media footage that Reuters was unable to immediately verify showed the aftermath of the assault, with bodies with entrails hanging out on bloodstained streets.
Casualties
At least 274 Palestinians were killed and 698 were wounded due to the Israeli rescue operation, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. However, the Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari stated that Israeli was aware of "under 100" Palestinians had been killed in the operation, but would not clarify how many were civilians. Children were among the fatalities.
