Palestinian authorities said that hundreds of bodies were found in mass graves in Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis this week after Israeli forces left it. Bodies were also reported at the Shifa facility after an operation by Israeli special forces.
Israel claims to have examined previously buried bodies
The IDF said that allegations that the IDF buried patients were “unfounded.” She said that forces searching for Israeli hostages examined the bodies previously buried by Palestinians near Nasser Hospital and “returned” them to their previous location after examining them.
“The investigation was carried out carefully and only in places where intelligence indicated the possible presence of hostages. The examination was carried out with respect that preserved the dignity of the deceased,” the statement said.
Ravina Shamdasani, spokeswoman for the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, said the human rights organization was sounding the alarm after the discovery of several bodies.
Some of them had their hands tied, which clearly indicates serious human rights violations
