Original Note:
4 hostages were held and successfully rescued at the Nuseirat camp. The US pier was not used in the operation. The death toll includes Hamas combatants. Since Hamas operated in the camp, it is misleading to refer to Nuseirat as a “refugee” camp, according to the UN. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/06/08/israel-hamas-war-news-gaza-hostages/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-support-israeli-forces-rescue-hostages-gaza/ https://emergency.unhcr.org/protection/legal-framework/civilian-and-humanitarian-character-asylum https://www.unhcr.org/us/publications/military-or-armed-attacks-refugee-camps-and-settlements https://guide-humanitarian-law.org/content/article/3/camps/
