   Of course I am truly happy for the 4 hostages and their families to be reunited today. But I cannot stand Western media and leaders celebrating this today without even mentioning that 200 Palestinians were killed during the rescue and that IDF soldiers - as I understand it - came hidden on humanitarian aid trucks, using the humanitarian pier. And that none of this would have been necessary if Israel had accepted any of the ceasefire deals #Gaza 1/2 https://mastodon.green/@pvonhellermannn/112342311753280104

     @pvonhellermannn US Centcom has officially denied that the humanitarian pier was used for this operation. The humanitarian pier may not even exist at that location currently (It partially broke apart a few weeks back due to wave activity and was hauled to Ashdod for repair). It doesn't appear to be present in the most recent publicly available Sentinel-2 satellite images.

     @pvonhellermannn I don't see it mentioned here so I'll just say it: hiding soldiers in humanitarian aid trucks is perfidy and explicitly a war crime.

     @pvonhellermannn But, it sounds from US statements and witness statements and visual evidence like Israel may have used the military base they've constructed at the seaside terminus of the Netzarim corridor during the operation, evacuated the hostages by boat rather than via the corridor, which has come under recent heavy attack, and may have disguised their forces as an aid shipment. This imperils legitimate aid operations in the area, not that Israel cares about that one bit.
