The Israeli military had US support in rescuing four captives from Gaza in a “complex daytime operation” in Nuseirat that killed over 200 Palestinians.

A US official told Axios that the US hostages cell in Israel had “supported” the effort to rescue the captives.

The Palestinian government media office in Gaza said the death toll from Israel’s attack on central Gaza had reached at least 210, with 400 more wounded.

“The occupation has annihilated the Nuseirat refugee camp. Innocent and unarmed civilian were bombed in their homes. I’ve never seen anything like this. It’s a catastrophe,” local Nidal Abdo told Middle East Eye.

"I came from the camp to here in the hospital on foot. I can’t describe how we fled. I saw dead children and body parts strewn all over as we fled. No one was able to assist them. I saw an elderly man killed on a animal-drawn cart.

“Nuseirat was being annihilated. It was hell.”

It said: “American participation in the criminal operation that was carried out today proves once again the complicit role of the American administration, its full participation in the war crimes committed in the Gaza Strip, [and] the falsity of its declared positions on the humanitarian situation and its concern for the lives of civilians.”

    “We know where our people are but Hamas has surrounded themselves with their own citizens. What should we do?”

    “Damn. I guess we’ll have to abandon our people then. Pack it up.”

    Stop letting Hamas’ tactic work on you.

      4 adults for 23 kids is not worth it.

      I would say that everyone of them should be reminded what their rescue cost repeatedly, but that’s not fair to them and the others are like you and think the trade is worth it.

      Stop letting Israel’s tactics work on you.

        Darn. Guess we just have to let Hamas and anyone who comes after do whatever they want as long as they keep their human shields nearby.

            Keep reducing everything to the color of people’s skin and you’ll continue to be confused about lots of other people’s positions on a wide variety of topics.

            I’m sure it makes life simpler for you though.

            Just in case you’re not totally gone, consider the Russia Ukraine conflict.

            If Ukraine took action to recover their kidnapped citizens and it ended like this one did, I’d hold the exact same position. And gasp their skin is white!

            Unlike lots of “progressives”, my opinion of right and wrong doesn’t change with people’s skin color.
