Israeli forces conduct a daylight raid on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza to free four hostages (Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, Shlomi Ziv). The operation results in at least 274 Palestinians killed and over 700 wounded, making it one of the deadliest single-day incidents of the war.
