On 8 June 2024, the Israel Defense Forces rescued four hostages from the Nuseirat refugee camp, and, during the operation, killed at least 276 Palestinians and injured over 698. Due to the high death toll, some sources have referred to the operation as a massacre, and one of the largest massacres of the Gaza war. During the operation, the Israeli military called in an intense air, sea, and ground attack. The operation successfully recovered four hostages taken during the October 7 attacks – Noa Argamani, Shlomi Ziv, Almog Meir Jan, and Andrey Kozlov—from two multi-story residential apartment buildings in Nuseirat, who were held there by Hamas. The operation also killed at least 274 Palestinians were killed in the camp, including 64 children and 57 women, with at least 698 people reported injured, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
