On June 11, 2024, at 6:34 am, the UN Security Council approved the Gaza ceasefire agreement proposed by the US. Russia, as a permanent member, did not exercise its veto power and instead abstained, allowing the agreement to pass. Israel's stance on accepting the ceasefire remains unclear, but on the same day, the Israeli Defense Ministry released new footage of a hostage rescue mission from the previous weekend. The video depicts intense combat scenes as Israeli special forces enter Gaza to rescue hostages, showcasing a rare daytime assault by Israel in which 274 Palestinians were reportedly killed in the operation. The US former Navy SEALs commander expressed that rescuing hostages from civilian buildings can result in civilian casualties, reflecting the complexity of such operations amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. The post-rescue concerns include Hamas reportedly issuing orders to eliminate hostages if Israel conducts further rescue operations, adding to the tension and risks in the region.
