Palestinian civilians watched as an apartment building destroyed during Israel's rescue operation for hostages on June 8, viewed on June 9 by Reuters. Israeli forces conducted a daytime raid on the Nuseirat camp, rescuing four Israeli hostages while one soldier perished. The Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry reported 274 Palestinian deaths resulting from the raid, with no distinction made between civilians and Hamas militants. Since the conflict began on October 7 last year, the Gaza Health Ministry has announced 37,084 deaths and 84,494 injuries. The intense morning rescue operation in Nuseirat led to the death of an Israeli commando and heavy casualties in the densely populated camp, with Hamas using civilians as human shields. Israeli forces faced heavy gunfire from Hamas upon withdrawal, responding with air and ground strikes, causing a significant loss of life. Hamas claims 210 deaths in the operation, known as Israel's 'Summer Seeds' mission, which successfully rescued the hostages amidst intensifying conflict in the region.
