The U.N. Office of the Higher Commissioner \u2064for Human\u200d Rights, through \u2062spokesman\u200b Jeremy Laurence, expressed serious concerns about the operation&#8217;s compliance with international war principles, including \u2062distinction, proportionality, and precaution.\u2063 Laurence highlighted the extensive harm to civilians\u2062 and questioned the reliability of casualty data provided by Hamas-controlled groups, \u200bnoting past errors in such data as reported by the Associated Press. The statement underscores the global concern over the operation&#8217;s legality and its humanitarian impact.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The United Nations condemned Israel on Tuesday over a rescue operation that saved four hostages from Hamas over the weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights released a statement that suggested Israel may have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/maher-defends-israel-leftists-would-run-screaming-to-tel-aviv-if-they-had-to-live-in-gaza-for-one-day\/\" title=\"Maher Defends Israel: Leftists \u2018Would Run Screaming To Tel Aviv If They Had To Live In Gaza For One Day\u2019\">committed war crimes<\/a> during the operation. At least some civilians were killed, though the total number is unknown, after Israeli commandos\u2019 cover was blown and fighting broke out during the rescue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe are profoundly shocked at the impact on civilians of the Israeli forces\u2019 operation in An Nuseirat at the weekend to secure the release of four hostages. Hundreds of Palestinians, many of them civilians, were reportedly killed and injured,\u201d spokesman Jeremy Laurence said in a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/en\/press-briefing-notes\/2024\/06\/shock-impact-civilians-israeli-raid-gaza-free-hostages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">statement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, referencing fatality stats put out by Hamas-controlled groups.

Furthermore, by holding hostages in such densely populated areas, the armed groups doing so are putting the lives of Palestinian civilians, as well as the hostages themselves, at added risk from the hostilities,\u201d the spokesman added. \u201cAll these actions, by both parties, may amount to war crimes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1716990157394000&#038;usg=AOvVaw33qQydjIo8bet419amChif\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Two Israeli commando teams infiltrated Nuseirat, an area still controlled by Hamas in Gaza. The commandos were conducting a rescue operation to free four hostages, one woman and three men, who were being held in two apartments in the city, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/world\/middle-east\/how-israel-saved-a-hostage-rescue-mission-that-nearly-failed-eab2a010\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Wall Street Journal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The commando units pulled off the raid around midday on Saturday, successfully getting undetected to the doors of the apartments where the hostages were held. In freeing the hostages, the commando units\u2019 cover was blown, starting a firefight between Israeli forces and Hamas terrorists in the area. Civilians were reportedly killed in the crossfire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All four hostages \u2013 Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrei Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv \u2013 were evacuated safely after being held by Hamas and its Palestinian allies for months since October 7. An Israeli commando squad leader, Arnon Zamora, was killed during the operation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United Nations condemned Israel for a rescue operation that freed four hostages from Hamas, suggesting potential war crimes.
