US supports rescue operations in Gaza that killed more than 200 Palestinians
The US supported the Israeli defence force to rescue four Israeli captives in Gaza on Saturday Operation led to more than 200 Palestinians killed in Nuseirat. Gazettes have it that through another operation, which was referred to as a complex daytime operation, the US had been involved.
A US official was quoted by Axios acknowledging that one of the US cells stationed in Israel helped the Israeli military. The New York Times sometimes revealed that this support assistances “intelligence and other logistical support”. Nevertheless, the videos have been circulating on social media indicating that live from the Gaza beach, a helicopter lifts in the backdrop of which the US-built pier is visible.
However, two officials of America’s government said that the pier was not used in the operation. This was similarly echoed by US Centcom which clarified that the “pier facility including all the equipment it holds and the people there and its other assets were not used in the exercise of hostage rescue today in Gaza. ”
Before that on Saturday, the IDF said it had struck “terrorist assets in the Nuseirat region.” Gaza’s Palestinian government media office said this aggression claimed at least 236 lives and left 400 more injured. The Palestinian health ministry reported that many of the dead were female and children and the injured were taken to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
The Nuseirat survivor named Nidal Abdo said, “The occupation has erased Nuseirat refugee camp from the face of the earth – innocent, unarmed civilians were bombed in their homes. I have never seen anything like this – it’s a tragedy. ” Being in a rather early stage of the aggression, Abdo had to stay on foot and go to the hospital, where he saw dead children and limbs all over the place.
The other resident Khalil al-Tahrawi stated that soon after the early morning rescue mission in Nuseirat, Israelis started launching attacks through bombing. He said when the military fired, the bombardment was actually in a bid to create a screen as soldiers scampered away while he was forced to seek cover on the ground due to non-stop shooting and shelling.
In his reaction to the operation, which targeted al-Moussawi, a Hamas spokesman criticized the US administration for credible complicity in war crimes. However, a statement by Hamas asserted, “American delegation’s involvement in the criminal operations conducted today proves again complicity of the American administration, its active involvement in the war crimes committed in the Gaza Strip. ”
The Israeli military revealed that rescuing all four captives—Noa Argamani, 25 years, Almog Meir Jan, 21 years; Andrey Kozlov, 27 years; and Shlomi Ziv, 40 years—with unharmed conditions and taking them to a hospital for additional examination. Israeli police observed that another senior officer, Arnon Zamora, who was a military commander was shot dead throughout the operation.
The operation successfully saved the kidnapped soldiers, but large-scale rallies for the release of captured Israelis swept across Israel calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to finalize the treaty with Hamas. There had been casualties throughout the war, though the 7 October attack by Hamas particularly led to the death of 1,171 people and left hundreds of Israelis captured, 116 of whom may still be held in Gaza.
Michael Levy, whose brother is among the captives, emphasized the urgency of reaching a deal: This means that they still have hostages inside and everyone has to be evacuated there is no other way they [the Israeli military] will be able to release them all they will have to be negotiated and have to seal the deal soon.
In more than three weeks of war, Gaza is tightening its siege as in its simultaneous wars; over 36,000 Palestinians have been killed and thousands of others missing or assumed to be trapped under the debris.
