Four Israeli hostages freed in Gaza special operation

Israeli forces rescued four Israeli hostages Saturday during an expansive
operation in central Gaza that left scores of Palestinians dead. At least 210
people were killed in the Nuseirat refugee camp, according to a Gaza Health
Ministry spokesman and a doctor at a hospital there.

Israeli forces killed at least 210 people in central Gaza on Saturday, officials

Israel says it spent ‘weeks’ preparing for rescue mission

Here's what to know
Noa Argamani, 26; Almog Meir Jan, 22; Andrey Kozlov, 27; and Shlomi Ziv,
41, “are in good medical condition” and have been transferred to a hospital
for further medical examinations, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said. They
were taken hostage from the Nova music festival during the Hamas attacks
on Oct. 7.

The Gaza Health Ministry spokesman accused Israel of attacking civilians
and committing a “massacre” in Nuseirat. The IDF acknowledged the large
death toll and blamed Hamas for any civilian casualties, saying the militant
group holds hostages in residential areas.

Did he say anything about the dozens of innocent Palestinians killed in the
raid to rescue them, a raid that wouldn’t have been necessary if Netanyahu
had agreed to the hostage release deal - for all the hostages, not just four! -

A Israeli soldiers used a humanitarian aid truck & a civilian car to sneak into
central Gaza & execute today's operation that butchered over 215 Gazans &
released 4 hostages.

They then escaped through Biden's "humanitarian pier", knowing it won't be
targeted by Hamas🧵

A massacre survivor says the aid truck stopped, it was full of clothes &
cutlery.

10 IDF soldiers exited the truck & sprayed him with 3 bullets, then Israel
began to intensely bomb the area with "fire belts" (i.e. simultaneously
dropping a large amount of bombs indiscriminately)

Israeli soldiers who stormed central Gaza fled towards Biden's $320 million
humanitarian pier & were evacuated from there.

It's likely they sneaked into central Gaza from the pier as well.

Aid is delivered to Gaza from newly repaired US-built pier, US official says
By ELLEN KNICKMEYER and TARA COPP, Associated Press Updated June 8, 2024 3:57 p.m.


WASHINGTON (AP) — Badly needed aid has been delivered to Gaza from a newly repaired American-built pier, a U.S. official said Saturday, following problems that had plagued the effort to bring supplies to Palestinians by sea.

The pier constructed by the American military was only operational for about a week before it was blown apart in high winds and heavy seas on May 25. The damaged section was reconnected to the beach in Gaza on Friday after undergoing repairs at an Israeli port.

Crews delivered about 1.1 million pounds (492 metric tons) of humanitarian aid to Gaza via the pier on Saturday, the U.S. official said. They spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of an official announcement of the delivery.

It came the same day that Israel mounted a heavy air and ground assault that rescued four hostages, who had been taken by Hamas during the Oct. 7 assault that launched the war in Gaza. At least 210 Palestinians, including children, were killed, a Gaza health official said.

It brings back online one way to get desperately needed food and other emergency supplies to Palestinians trapped by the eight-month-old Israel-Hamas war. Israeli restrictions on land crossings, and fighting, have greatly limited the flow of food and other vital supplies into the territory.

The damage to the pier was the latest stumbling block for the project and the persistent struggle to get food to starving Palestinians. Three U.S. service members were injured, one critically, and four vessels were beached due to heavy seas.

Early efforts to get aid from the pier into the Gaza Strip were disrupted as crowds overran a convoy of trucks that aid agencies were using to transport the food, stripping the cargo from many of them before they could reach a U.N. warehouse. Officials responded by altering the travel routes, and aid began reaching those in need.


Vice Adm. Brad Cooper, deputy commander of U.S. Central Command, told reporters on Friday that the lessons learned from that initial week of operations made him confident greater amounts of aid could be delivered now.

He said the goal was to get to 1 million pounds (500 tons or 450 metric tons) of food and other supplies moving through the pier into Gaza every two days. Before the causeway broke apart in the storm, more than 1,100 tons (1,000 metric tons) of aid were delivered, Pentagon officials said.

Relief agencies have pressed Israel to reopen land routes that could bring in all the needed aid. Israel says it has allowed hundreds of trucks to enter through a southern checkpoint and pointed the finger at the U.N. for not distributing aid. The U.N. says it is often unable to retrieve the aid because of the security situation.

U.N. agencies have warned that over 1 million Palestinians in Gaza could experience the highest level of starvation by the middle of next month if hostilities continue.

President Joe Biden’s administration has said from the start that the pier wasn’t meant to be a total solution and that any amount of aid helps.

Biden, a Democrat, announced his plan for the U.S. military to build a pier during his State of the Union address in early March, and the military said it would take about 60 days to get it installed and operational. It took a bit longer than planned, with the first trucks carrying aid for the Gaza Strip rolling down the pier on May 17.

The initial cost was estimated at $320 million, but the Pentagon said this past week that the price had dropped to $230 million, due to contributions from Britain and because the cost of contracting trucks and other equipment was less than expected.

Subject: Re: a raid that wouldn't have been necessary if Hamas surrendered




If innocents were wrapped around hostages then blame
Hamas, the ones that tied them to that situation, since
you must blame someone.

Blame Netanyahu for the war taking so long, for
mismanaging a hapless population, for denying food and
housing to those who only wanted peace, that's a crime
against humanity. Blame Netanyahu for being corrupt as
some Israelis say.

But don't blame Netanyahu, not for capitulating to
Hamas for unreasonable demands from an organization
that kept their own population ignorant, hungry, in
poverty and as buffer to munitions and war.

Hamas refused the ceasefire offers many times, and that
offer they accepted, and Egypt supposedly sabotaged,
went to the last day, hour. So, I'm not going to list
the them all, and you didn't offer a *valid* link, so I
cannot discuss it with you.

Hamas is in bunkers like Hitler, while their people and
it's former territory are in ruins as Hitler left
Berlin, Munich, Dresden and more. Hitler at least
killed himself and the war ended. It's time for Hamas
to surrender.

Statement from National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on the Israeli
Hostage Rescue Operation
HOME
BRIEFING ROOM
STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
Today, Israeli security forces conducted a successful operation to rescue
four hostages from the grips of Hamas in Gaza. All four were taken from the
Nova Music Festival on October 7, and Hamas filmed the horrific abduction
of Ms. Argamani for the world to see. Now they are safe and reunited with
their families. We commend the work of the Israeli security services that
conducted this daring operation.

The United States is supporting all efforts to secure the release of hostages
still held by Hamas, including American citizens. This includes through
ongoing negotiations or other means. The hostage release and ceasefire deal
that is now on the table would secure the release of all the remaining
hostages together with security assurances for Israel and relief for the
innocent civilians in Gaza. This deal has the full backing of the United States
and has been endorsed by countries from around the world, including the G7,
Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, UAE, and Qatar, as well as the sixteen countries
with their citizens still being held by Hamas. They all must be released —
now.

Those 246 Palestinian lives were Hamas and others.

Hamas wrapped Palestinians around the munitions and
soldiers at the UN compound. Hamas covered tunnels
with schools and hospitals, they buried tunnels of
missiles and threatened death to the hungry if they
took food from any but their hands.

All hostages should be released and Hamas should
surrender, let them go and give their own people peace.

Entebbe was at an airport, not in the middle of an
overcrowded apartment complex.

And still Hamas doesn't care how many are killed? You
complain about the white house when Hamas hasn't hit
their 100,000 quota Sinwar said would not be too many.

Amazing.
