Quick Glance: Discovery of Nearly 300 Bodies in Mass Grave at Gaza Hospital
  • Workers from the Gaza Civil Defense announced the discovery of a mass grave with almost 300 bodies at a hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis in Gaza, subsequent to the withdrawal of Israeli forces earlier this month.

  • Colonel Yamen Abu Suleiman, the Director of Civil Defense in Khan Younis, informed CNN on Monday that 73 bodies were found in the courtyard of the Nasser Medical Complex, bringing the total number to 283.

  • It is believed that some bodies were discovered with bound hands and feet, along with indications of field executions. The specific circumstances of their deaths, whether they were buried alive or executed, remain unclear.

  • The IDF has stated that they transported multiple bodies from Gaza to Israel for DNA testing before repatriating the remains in containers. The region surrounding the Nasser Medical Complex experienced heavy bombardment and conflict during January and February.
