White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan confirmed that "innocent people were killed" in the Israeli military operation that rescued four hostages over the weekend.
The Israeli military said it rescued four hostages in a special operation in central Gaza on Saturday. CNN's Dana Bash asked Sullivan on "State of the Union" whether the U.S. can confirm how many people were killed in the operation, noting that two separate hospitals in the area said at least 236 people were reportedly killed.
Sullivan explained that the Gaza Health Ministry and the Israeli military have put out differing numbers and that the U.S. could not confirm how many casualties there were. |
