New complaint from the authorities Gaza. According to what was reported by Al Jazeerathe Palestinian civil protection announced that it had found 180 bodies in a mass grave in the Nasser a medical complex Khan Younis, in the central part of the Strip. The IDF left the area on April 7, after four months of fighting.
According to Hamas, the discovery “reaffirms the extent of the crimes and atrocities committed by the Zionist occupation army”. Rescuers in the exclave said they had been found in recent days 210 bodies in the hospital and 2 thousand people are still missing. The two most important hospitals in the city, Amal and Nasser, are currently inactive due to the damage suffered during the operations of the Israeli army, which attacked the structures to flush out the terrorists who used them as a command center mixing with civilians and staff doctor. Again according to the Palestinian civil protection, a total of 400 bodies have been recovered from April 1st to today and another mass grave was also found, with a dozen corpses inside, near the Al-Shifa hospital.
The news has not been independently verified and it is not known whether the dead were buried by the IDF or by Hamas itself. Furthermore, it is also unknown whether or not the people buried in the hospital belonged to the terrorist organisation. Al Jazeera is known to be a media outlet aligned with the Palestinian cause, so the information reported may not have been thoroughly vetted.
It wouldn’t be the first time since the conflict began. The most striking case was that of the Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City, where in October a malfunctioning missile from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad caused several dozen victims. At first, international media and several nations accused Israel of bombing the compound and provoking it 500 dead. Audio and video published by the IDF then exonerated the forces of the Jewish State.
The use of hospitals and ambulances by Hamas was verified during the interrogations of militiamen and officers of the organization captured in the Strip. Furthermore, inside the structures, Tel Aviv soldiers found weapons, uniforms and computers containing intelligence materials.
Furthermore, numerous tunnels were dug under the structures in which the terrorists hid and probably also held the hostages for a certain period.
