The United States clarified that its temporary aid pier in Gaza was not involved in the Israeli rescue operation at the Nuseirat refugee camp, which killed over 270 Palestinians. The Pentagon refuted claims linking the pier to the assault, while reports indicated that a helicopter near the US pier was used to evacuate captives and soldiers. The intense Israeli bombing of Nuseirat resulted in significant casualties, including many women and children. Although the US military denied involvement, reports suggest American intelligence aided the operation. Following the attack, the UN World Food Programme halted its aid deliveries in Gaza, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
