Vice President Harris celebrated the rescue of four Israeli hostages in Gaza on Saturday, going on to mourn the deaths of Palestinians in the operation.
Vice President Harris mourned the Palestinians who were killed in a successful Israeli hostage rescue operation this weekend during an address delivered Saturday. The Israeli operation retrieved four hostages who were taken into Gaza by Hamas on Oct. 7. Harris, speaking before the Michigan Democratic Party, celebrated their retrieval but spent more time lamenting the deaths of Palestinians killed in the operation, many of whom Israel has described as terrorists.
We the United States are not in a position today to make a definitive statement about ,' Sullivan said in a Sunday interview with CNN. 'But we do know this: innocent people were tragically killed in this operation. The exact number we don’t know, but innocent people were killed.' 'Every day that we see more innocent people lost is another horrible, awful, tragic day,' he added.
Israeli forces say Hamas intentionally kept the hostages in a 'civilian environment.' They also said even the Palestinians who were holding the hostages were also 'civilians.' Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari of the IDF said Hamas has been holding hostages inside civilian buildings, including the locations where Israeli forces rescued Noa Argamani, 26, Almog Meir Jan, 22, Shlomi Ziv, 41, and Andrey Kozlov, 27.
