The former head of the IOF's Operations Division, Yisrael Ziv, stated that a “comprehensive deal” is needed to bring back the remaining captives and end the war.

Israeli Maariv cited him as saying, “Only a deal can bring the captives back…such a deal cannot stand alone, it must be part of a comprehensive deal to end the war,” adding that “this time... it is more in Israel’s interest than Hamas’s because there is an existential threat looming in the north.”

Ziv called Saturday's operation one of the occupation's most “complex and dangerous” ever and a “very big success," even after it left over 200 Palestinians killed and hundreds others injured in the Nuseirat refugee camp. 

He further claimed that Hamas will learn from this and take steps to prevent future captive situations and that an exchange deal is what's needed the most right now. 

Yesterday, Israeli occupation forces announced they retrieved four live captives from the Nuseirat refugee camp in the Gaza Strip.

Reportedly, Resistance fighters guarding the captives had confronted an Israeli force invading the camp, which led to the death of an occupation officer from the Yamam unit. 

The Israeli occupation forces launched on Saturday numerous airstrikes on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, which led to the death of at least 210 Palestinians and injury of 400.

A team of American experts stationed in Israeli-occupied lands supported the Israeli military in retrieving the four captives by giving information and other logistical support, according to one American official, who spoke anonymously to discuss the delicate operation.

A senior Israeli official told the NYT that the US and UK have been in "Israel" throughout the war on Gaza, assisting Israeli intelligence in gathering and analyzing information about the captives, some of whom are citizens of both countries.

Two Israeli official sources cited that US military officers gave the occupation information regarding the captives retrieved Saturday.

Heartbreaking videos were shared on social media depicting dozens of martyrs, including children, killed by the Israeli indiscriminate bombing of the Nuseirat Refugee camp. Many of the martyrs have been turned into pieces scattered across the streets of the camp.
