Israel rescued four hostages alive from two locations in the heart of Nuseirat, Gaza, Israel said Saturday.

Noa Argamani, 25; Almog Meir Jan, 21; Andrey Kozlov, 27; and Shlomi Ziv, 40, were kidnapped by Hamas from the 'Nova' music festival on Oct. 7, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

The rescues come after a morning of strikes in Central Gaza. Videos show dozens of people in the emergency department at Al Aqsa Martyrs hospital, the region's only functioning hospital.

Hamas called it an "unprecedented brutal attack" and said there are "dozens of martyrs and wounded in the streets" although they do not yet know how many people were killed and injured in the attack.

The rescued hostages have been transferred to the 'Sheba' Tel-HaShomer Medical Center and are in good condition, the IDF said.

Three Palestinians were killed and 15 others were injured when Israeli forces struck an UNRWA school and shelter in Al-Shati refugee camp in northern Gaza Friday, according to statements from Hamas and the Israel Defense Forces.

Israeli forces said Hamas "terrorists" were operating "from a container inside the grounds" of the school in Al-Shati.

"By targeting this school, which is affiliated with UNRWA, the number of UNRWA schools designated as shelter centers and targeted by the occupation by bombing exceeds more than 150 schools affiliated with UNRWA, in addition to the bombing of dozens of other facilities, installations, and service centers affiliated with UNRWA, which were designated for sheltering displaced people," Hamas said in a statement.

After being down for almost two weeks, the temporary pier system has once again been reattached to a beach in Gaza, Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, the deputy commander of U.S. Central Command, told reporters Friday.

"We expect to resume delivery of humanitarian assistance from the sea in the coming days,” Cooper said.

The reattachment to the beach was done by Israeli Defense Force engineers, just as was done the first time when the pier went into operation in mid-May.

During its one week of operations, 1,000 metric tons of aid equal to more than 2 million pounds came into Gaza via the pier, accounting for about 30% of all aid delivered to Gaza that week. With the re-establishment of JLOTS it will become the third route for aid into Gaza right now.

“Given its proven success, we expect to increase the volume of humanitarian assistance provided through the pier over the previous levels,” said Cooper. “We anticipate that our goal will be to deliver 500,000 pounds over the beach initially and then ramp that up soon thereafter. So essentially, essentially every day a million pounds over every two-day period.”

Aid will begin flowing shortly but for now weather conditions are being evaluated to make sure they are appropriate and everything is working properly before aid deliveries are resumed.

At least 40 people were killed -- 14 of whom were children -- and at least 74 others were injured in the Israeli strike on an UNRWA school at the Nuseirat Refugee Camp, the Gaza Ministry of Health said Thursday.

Israeli officials have claimed that the strike was targeting Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists "hiding inside the school," IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari said during a press briefing Thursday.

The U.S. State Department said Israelis have claimed they were targeting "only one part of the building without hitting areas where civilians were sheltering," spokesperson Matt Miller said Thursday.

"At the same time, we've seen the reports on the ground. We’ve seen the videos on the ground. We've seen the claims that 14 children were killed in the strike and certainly if ... it is accurate that 14 children were killed, those aren’t terrorists. And so the government of Israel has said that they're going to release more information about this strike, including the names of those who died in it," Miller said. "We expect them to be fully transparent in making that information public."

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the strike on the school, which the U.N. said was sheltering some 6,000 internally displaced persons, in a statement.

A spokesperson for Guterres said, "He underscores that UN premises are inviolable, including during armed conflict and must be protected by all parties at all times. The Secretary-General calls on all parties to respect and protect civilians, and ensure their essential needs are met, in accordance with international humanitarian law."

Centrist Israeli minister Benny Gantz announced Sunday that he was resigning from the emergency government because of what he has described as a lack of a plan from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the "day after" in Gaza.

During a televised news conference, Gantz announced he was resigning from the coalition government, taking with him his State Party and the seats it held in the Knesset. Netanyahu's coalition government will still retain a majority, but the move by Gantz is considered a major blow to the prime minister.

"Netanyahu is preventing us from progressing towards a true victory," Gantz said. "For this reason, we are leaving the emergency government today, with a heavy heart, yet wholeheartedly."

He also called on Netanyahu to set a date for elections.

Gantz was set to make the announcement on Saturday but called it off amid the news of an Israel Defense Forces operation in Gaza that led to the rescue of four Israeli hostages.

Gantz is a member of Israel’s three-member war Cabinet, which includes Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

On Saturday, Netanyahu appealed to Gantz on X, saying, "This is the time for unity and not for division. We must remain united within ourselves in the face of the great tasks before us. I call on Benny Gantz -- do not leave the emergency government. Don't give up on unity."

Following Gantz's resignation, Netanyahu released a statement on X, saying, "Israel is in an existential war on several fronts."

"Benny, this is not the time to abandon the campaign -- this is the time to join forces," Netanyahu said. "Citizens of Israel, we will continue until victory and the achievement of all the goals of the war, primarily the release of all our hostages and the elimination of Hamas."

Netanyahu added, "My door will remain open to any Zionist party that is ready to get under the stretcher and assist in bringing victory over our enemies and ensuring the safety of our citizens."

In May, Gantz issued an ultimatum to Netanyahu, saying he would resign if the prime minister did not approve a post-war plan by June 8, saying at the time, "While the Israeli soldiers show supreme bravery on the front, some of the men who sent them into battle behave with cowardice and irresponsibility."
