According to the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Saturday, 4 Israeli captives being retrieved alive is an "important sign of hope."
The chancellor made no mention of the massacre committed by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in order for the 4 captives to have been released, or the 210 Palestinians who were brutally killed.
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.
"An important sign of hope -- in particular for the numerous Israeli families who continue to fear for those close to them. Four hostages are now free," Scholz wrote on X.
Ein wichtiges Zeichen der Hoffnung – besonders für die vielen Familien in Israel, die nach wie vor um ihre Angehörigen bangen.
— Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz (@Bundeskanzler) June 8, 2024
Vier Geiseln sind nun in Freiheit. Die Hamas muss endlich alle Geiseln freilassen. Der Krieg muss enden.
Israelis murder 200+, Biden congratulates them for captives operation
Following "Israel's" assault on the Nuseirat refugee camp on Saturday which killed at least 210 Palestinians, the US President Joe Biden has not only not condemned the aggression but on the contrary, celebrated the retrieval of 4 Israeli captives during the strike.
Congratulating the Israeli families for the release of the captives with French President Emmanuel Macron, Biden stated that the US "won't stop working until all the hostages are home and a ceasefire is reached. That's essential to happen."
The Israeli occupation forces launched on Saturday numerous airstrikes on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, Al Mayadeen correspondent reported, adding that the intense bombardment resulted in dozens of casualties, with many martyrs and injured being brought to al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
According to the correspondent, dozens of Israeli rockets targeted civilian homes in Nuseirat camp. Many women and children are among the casualties being transported to the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital using animal-drawn carts and private vehicles due to the dire circumstances of the healthcare system
There are reports of many dead and wounded who have not yet been reached by ambulances. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, the death toll from the bombardment currently stands at 60 and is expected to continue rising. However, our correspondent has reported upwards of 80 martyrs.
According to Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza, an Israeli special force had infiltrated Nuseirat Camp. Upon the force's discovery by the Resistance, heavy confrontations ensued. According to our correspondent, it was the discovery of the force that led to this heavy Israeli shelling and the massacre in the camp.
