GAZA, (PIC)
The Hamas Movement said the new mass grave discovered at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza is “horrifying”.
The Movement said the mass grave includes “several decomposing bodies” that Israeli forces, using military bulldozers, hid under the rubble before withdrawing from the medical complex earlier this month.
Israeli forces have attacked and besieged the hospital several times since October 7, leaving it largely in ruins. Thousands of medical staff, patients, and displaced families were at the facility during the attacks, with witnesses saying hundreds lost their lives as a result.
The latest discovery indicates that there are “no limits” to what Israeli forces are willing to do, Hamas said.
Their crimes are continuing because of the international community’s silence in the face of this “genocide” against Palestinians in Gaza, the Movement added.
“The series of ongoing violations, including the discovery of mass graves in al-Shifa, cases of execution, and the hundreds of bodies that remain under the rubble … are clear and well-documented war crimes,” it said.
Hamas called on the international community to bring those responsible to justice.
The Government Media Office (GMO) earlier confirmed that the Israeli army executed 400 Palestinians in the al-Shifa Hosital, noting that specialized crews were able on Monday to recover 9 bodies from a mass grave discovered in the health facility.
Some of the people who had been killed and buried appear to have been patients at the hospital and had medical bandages attached to their bodies, the GMO added.
