GAZA, (PIC)
Sources at the Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City have announced the discovery of a mass grave in the courtyards of the complex, following a days-long search. This is considered one of the first mass graves found within the complex.
Some doctors at the complex provided testimonies confirming field executions that targeted doctors and displaced individuals inside the complex.
Sources at the complex reported on Monday that teams from the Ministry of Health and the Civil Defense extracted multiple bodies that appeared to have been recently buried, during the period when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) were present in the complex during their recent incursion.
Al-Jazeera channel aired graphic and painful scenes of numerous bodies buried in a mass grave. According to eyewitness accounts, many of them were executed by the IOF soldiers.
Among the scenes shown were the body of an injured person with a cast on his leg, and the body of an elderly person who appeared to have been a patient receiving treatment at the complex, in addition to several individuals who were only wearing underwear.
Medical and civil defense teams have extracted several bodies that were found beneath the rubble, having succeeded in retrieving nine bodies so far.
Criminal investigation teams, along with the Ministry of Health and the Civil Defense, continue to work on searching for more bodies within this mass grave, despite fears of being targeted by the IOF.
Rights activists and legal experts have called for the intervention of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, emphasizing the need for an immediate investigation by an independent international organization, given the compelling evidence available.
