Amidst the ongoing Gaza conflict, Israeli forces successfully rescued four hostages from the Nuseirat refugee camp. The operation, conducted on Saturday, came as the war entered its ninth month. Tragically, the Hamas-led Palestinian government reported that at least 210 people were killed and approximately 400 injured during Israeli strikes on the central Gaza camp. US President Joe Biden welcomed the hostage rescue and pledged continued efforts to secure the release of all captives and broker a ceasefire. The rescue mission adds another layer to the already complex and dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
