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.”

    How deranged do you have to be to think that it’s okay to murder more than 200 innocent people to save 4?

    Person you are replying to didn’t do that in comment you are replying to.

        I mean, say what you want but 100% dozens of those 200 are Hamas terrorists. He’s not wrong. Heck, we don’t even know if it was indeed 200 killed.

        Also how is nobody here even a bit mad over Hamas hiding hostages in a refugee camp?

          Because we they’re scorpions.

          You only express anger at things that you think can change.

          You just express depression at things that are wrong that you know you can’t.

          We are mad at Israel because we expect more from them than we do from terrorists.

          It’s the same reason we get mad here in the USA when our country does something stupid and shitty like invading Iraq to try and finish the job that your daddy couldn’t.

            That’s an actually really solid case.

            I do think though that the world also needs to help Israel in the fight against Hamas. You can’t expect them to both be humane with the same standard as the rest of the west, while they’re the only ones being constantly attacked (and very effectively so).

            So while you can and should expect change from the situation, you can’t expect it to come for free and one sidedly.
