Israeli forces successfully liberated 4 hostages in Gaza, with casualties reaching at least 200 Palestinians during the operation.
Earlier today, four Israeli hostages were successfully rescued in a joint operation conducted by special forces units of the IDF, Shin Bet, and Israeli Police in two locations within Nuseirat, central Gaza.
During the operation, an Israeli Police commander, identified as Arnon Zemorah, tragically lost his life.
According to Khalil al-Degran, a spokesman for Al-Aqsa Hospital, the operation, supported by Israeli air strikes and helicopter fire, resulted in over 200 fatalities and hundreds more injured.
IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari stated, “We are aware of fewer than 100 casualties,” though he noted uncertainty regarding the status of these individuals as potential terrorists.
