Nuseirat 274: The Hostages Massacre

Nuseirat 274 investigates one of the deadliest and most controversial Israeli military operations in the war on Gaza. On June 8, 2024, Israeli forces launched a raid in the heart of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza to rescue hostages held by Hamas since the October 7 attacks. Codenamed “Operation Arnon,” the raid involved undercover units, ground forces, and an intense aerial assault that lasted several hours. Of the seven hostages reportedly held in that area, only four were rescued: Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv. The hostages were being held in civilian homes, deep inside one of the most densely populated areas in Gaza. As the Israeli forces advanced, fierce air strikes targeted homes, markets, and alleyways packed with civilians. The human cost was staggering. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry: • 274 Palestinians were killed, many of them women and children. • More than 600 people were injured. • Hospitals, already devastated by Israel’s siege and power outages, were overwhelmed. People were running in every direction. Children traumatised and covered in blood—there was no warning. Hospitals received dozens of bodies—burned, torn apart. There was no electricity, no space for the injured, and no time to understand what was happening. Witness footage, open-source intelligence, and exclusive interviews suggest Israel’s air strikes hit numerous civilian buildings—some located near schools and markets—with no clear military targets in sight.
