UN Rapporteur Albanese criticizes hostage rescue, shares conspiracy theories
UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese criticized Israeli security forces for its successful hostage rescue operation on Saturday.
Albanese wrote on social media on Saturday that while she was relieved that Shlomi Ziv, Andrey Kozlov, Almog Meir, and Noa Argamani had been “released,” the rescue “should not have come at the expense of at least 200 Palestinians, including children, killed and over 400 injured by Israel and allegedly foreign soldiers, while perfidiously hiding in an aid truck.”
Albanese appeared to reference rumors spread by Palestinian and anti-Israel sources that US special forces had aided in the operation.
“Israel has used hostages to legitimize killing, injuring, maiming, starving and traumatizing Palestinians in Gaza,” asserted Albanese. “And while intensifying violence against Palestinians in the rest of the occupied territory and Israel.”Criticizing Israel for its actions during the war
Albanese claimed that Israel could have freed all the hostages in a deal at the beginning of the war, but had “refused in order to continue to destroy Gaza and the Palestinians as a people.”
“This is genocidal intent turned into action,” said the controversial UN Rapporteur. “Crystal clear.”
Israeli Foreign Ministry Deputy spokesperson attacked Albanese on X, saying that her “unwavering support of Hamas and Palestinian civilian kidnappers of civilians is truly a piece of grotesque art.”

IDF strikes West Bank terror cell as they plant explosive devices
Aircrafts carried out a targeted strike on Tuesday night on the Nur Shams camp, in the West Bank, eliminating a terror cell as they placed explosives, Israeli media reported. The IDF surrounded the squad and attacked it from the air while it was placing the devices.
Maariv, citing Palestinian reports, claimed that 5 people were killed in the strike. The report indicated that only one of the 5 killed were terrorists and that several others were wounded. The Palestinian Health Ministry placed the number of casualties at 4, according to Reuters.
The attack took place near an incident in Jenin in which 22-year-old Captain Alon Sacgiu was killed after his vehicle hit one of the explosive devices.
Uptick in attacks in the area over the last 3 days
This is the third attack in the last three days and, since the outbreak of the war, more than 50 attacks have been carried out in the area.
The Palestinian Health Ministry claimed that Israeli fire, following a military vehicle hitting an explosive device, resulted in the death of a woman and a child.
The ministry did not comment on the age of the child or whether those reportedly killed or wounded were engaged in attacks on the Israeli personnel operating in the area.
Sergeant-Major (Res.) Yehuda Geto, 22, was killed after hitting explosives.
The incident occurred during an operation to counter terrorism in the camp. According to the details of the initial investigation, a bomb exploded under a military vehicle where Geto, who served as a driver in the unit, and a commander were inside.
The IDF said that the military vehicle was in an area where there was no risk of explosives, therefore no searches were conducted for them, Israeli media reported.
