The Nuseirat rescue operation (initially codenamed Operation Seeds of Summer and renamed Operation Arnon[6]) was a raid carried out by Yamam, the Shin Bet and Israel Defense Forces with intelligence support from the United States[7] in the Nuseirat refugee camp on 8 June 2024 to recover hostages taken from the Re'im music festival massacre during the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel.[8]
Four Israeli captives were rescued—Noa Argamani, Shlomi Ziv, Almog Meir Jan, and Andrey Kozlov—from two multi-story residential apartment buildings in Nuseirat.[1] They were held by Gazan civilians affiliated with Hamas and were guarded by armed Hamas militants.[9]
During the operation, the Israeli military called in an intense air, sea, and ground attack. This resulted in civilian casualties. Ziad, a paramedic and resident of Nuseirat and Abu Ubaida, a spokesperson for al-Qassam Brigades referred to the attack as a massacre.[10] EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell described the events as “a bloodbath.”[11] The Gaza Health Ministry reported that at least 274 Palestinians died in the camp, including 64 children and 57 women,[10] with "at least" 698 people reported injured.[12] The IDF said they were aware of fewer than 100 Palestinian casualties.[5] Yamam officer Arnon Zamora was seriously injured and later died from his injuries.[13]
Following the operation, Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Obaida warned that it would result in greater threats to the Israeli hostages.[14] The Qassam Brigades later released a short video saying that the raid had also killed three unnamed Israeli hostages, including one with dual citizenship of the USA. No evidence for this claim was provided.[3][15] The UN human rights office said that both Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups may have committed war crimes. The U.S. had promised aid groups the pier would be a no-go area for Israeli forces and aid operations at the pier are on hold pending a response to aid groups from the U.S. government.[16]
