At least 274 Palestinians were killed and 698 wounded in Israeli strikes on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, Gaza’s health ministry said on Sunday. The Israeli military said its forces came under heavy fire during the daytime operation.

The EU’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, called it a “massacre”, while the UN’s aid chief described in graphic detail scenes of “shredded bodies on the ground”.

“Nuseirat refugee camp is the epicentre of the seismic trauma that civilians in Gaza continue to suffer,” Martin Griffiths said in a post on X, calling for a ceasefire and the release of all hostages.

    1 by the way.

    But I dont understand why is it even a measure. You expected probably best commando unit in the world specifically trained for this type of rescues to get heavy losses?

      I expect the “best commando unit” (your propaganda words) to have a lower death toll.

      The fact one of them was killed means the fighting probably wasn’t intense enough to warrant that level of violence.

      Fuck Israel and their indiscriminate killing

              Oh we’re just ignoring the destruction of all infrastructure, the starving and abuse that brought us here? Smfh 200 innocents is no mistake only fools would think that.

      Best in the world? A world that also has, (checks notes) SFOD, SEALs, SAS, and whatever the CIA is cooking these days.

      All of whom would have taken more than one casualty in intense urban fighting. And have done so in the past. Something doesn’t add up here.
