JAKARTA - The death toll of Palestinians in Gaza has surged to 37,000, the death toll of the Israeli Nuseirat attack as the hostages continue to grow.

Local health authorities said the death toll from last Saturday's Israeli attack on the refugee camp in Central Gaza had reached 274 as of Sunday, while nearly 700 injured, the majority of civilians consisting of children and women, told WAFA on June 9.

The nearly two-hour attack comes from land, sea, and air, the largest in six months.

Separately, Israel claimed the attack it carried out on Saturday was aimed at releasing hostages. The military announced that the four people who were successfully released were Noa Argamani (26), Almog Meir Jan (22), Andrey Kozlov (27) and Shlomi Ziv (41), quoted from Daily Sabah.

The hostages were among the seven people released alive by Israeli forces. Now there are 116 hostages left in Gaza, including 41 people who the army says have died.

The resident of Nuseirat, Khalil al-Tahrawi, described hearing a shootout and shooting from his shelter.

"Israeli warplanes began bombing us in all directions to cover the troop withdrawal process," he said.

The operation comes days after an Israeli attack on a Nuseirat school managed by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, which a hospital in Gaza says has killed 40 people.

Health authorities on Sunday announced that some 283 Palestinians were killed and 814 others injured as a result of Israeli attacks over the past 24 hours.

Authorities also confirmed that the death toll of Palestinians as a result of Israeli attacks since October 7, 2023 has reached 37,084 people and injuries to 84,494, with the majority of women and children.
