On 8 June 2024, the Israeli military killed at least 276 people and injured over 698, according to the Gaza Health Ministry and Palestinian health officials, during a hostage rescue operation in the UNRWA Nuseirat refugee camp.[b][8] The operation's objective was to free multiple hostages taken during the 7 October attack on Israel. The Israeli military acknowledged fewer than 100 Palestinian deaths.[9]
The operation reportedly involved hundreds of ground troops and a heavy initial bombardment on the camp. According to the IDF, violence further escalated when the IDF vehicle carrying three hostages broke down, leading to intense firefights, airstrikes, and naval support. Wounded civilians were taken to the Shuhada al-Aqsa Hospital and Al-Awda Hospital, though Al-Aqsa was reportedly overwhelmed with casualties and experienced communications disruptions due to the intense Israeli bombing.[10]
While the Israeli military was praised for its successful rescue of four Israeli hostages, it was condemned for the high civilian death toll. Both humanitarian organizations and governments described the assault as a massacre, and the United Nations stated the IDF may have committed war crimes. In its defense, Israel said it was targeting Hamas militants who took part in the 7 October attack.[11]
