So Nuseirat is a 'civilian' area, a refugee camp that looks like pic below with densely packed housing (leveled in this raid)
UNRWA operates there with 17 installations and 15 schools
Israel initially reported their operations in Nuseirat as it started without saying it was a raid for hostages, and Al Jazeera was quick to post this:

Gaza’s Government Media Office says the Israeli forces have launched “an unprecedented brutal attack on the Nuseirat refugee camp”, leaving dozens of people killed and wounded in the streets.
“[It] continues its aggression against all areas of the Central Governorate [Deir el-Balah], and Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital is in a catastrophic situation,” it said.
Israeli forces launched “a barbaric and brutal aggression” in the camp, directly targeting civilians, the office said, adding that ambulances and civil defence cannot reach the area due to the intensity of the bombing.
The office warned that Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital is the only hospital in Deir el-Balah currently working on only one electric generator; if the sole generator stops, “a real disaster” will ensue.
“This hospital provides health services to a million people and displaced persons, and it cannot accommodate this large number of martyrs and injuries,” it said.
It called on the international community, the UN and all international organisations “to intervene immediately and urgently save the hospital and save the health situation in the Central Governorate”.
“We hold the [Israeli] occupation and the American administration fully responsible for this catastrophic crime in which the blood of dozens of innocent civilians was shed,” it said.
“We call on the international community and all international organisations to stop this brutal aggression continued by the ‘Israeli’ occupation, and we demand that they stop the genocidal war immediately and urgently.”

What we’re hearing from the Israeli army in a very short statement is that they’re going after “terrorist infrastructure” in Nuseirat refugee camp. But that is a statement that’s very difficult to square with the pictures we’re seeing of women and children being rushed to the hospital.
A far bigger operation than we’ve seen perhaps in recent weeks. The Israeli military says it is going after terrorist infrastructure. A week ago they said that they’d hit terrorist infrastructure in Rafah but actually some 45 civilians were killed in what was called the Rafah massacre.
We don’t know how many people are dead arriving at Al-Aqsa Hospital but that number does seem to be rising.
So of the 45 people killed in the strike on the school a couple days ago, at least 17 have been identified as known terrorists and Israel used precision munitions that allowed them to selectively blow up the 3 classrooms being used as a Hamas headquarters but not the rest of the school. And of course, the Islamist Media seized upon it calling it a war crime / barbarity / etc etc before we even had the identification of the targets, and hoisted 45 bodybags around on their macabre parade. Which of course were the bodies of terrorists.
Then today they did the same song and dance routine, saying oh my god Israel is barbaric they are bombing women and children in a civilian camp. And of course, Hamas was holding hostages in this camp and Israel managed to free 4 of them.
Now we have Al Jazeera's latest;

Return of captives will be spun as army success story
....
The return of the captives is going to be spun as a real successful operation for the Israelis.
We’re hearing that at least 47 Palestinians were killed but no mention of that from the Israeli army spokesperson, the PM or the foreign minister.
We don’t have an actual figure of how many people were injured in this raid that took place by air, land and sea with the involvement of at least one helicopter.
The cost of this operation? Well, the Israelis simply are not talking about it and will not talk about that because they want to spin this as a success story.
