Dozens of bodies unearthed in Gaza city following “Israeli” withdrawal

Approximately 40 bodies were unearthed today in Gaza City by civil defense teams in the neighborhoods of Tel al-Hawa and Al-Sinaa

The search conducted was initial and was carried out in two districts of the city after the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) had ended an offensive – according to statements given to Agence France-Presse (AFP). 

Civil defense spokesperson Mahmud Bassal said the bodies were found in the Tal al-Hawa and al-Sinaa districts where the IOF said it had withdrawn on Friday after its latest operation against what it called Hamas militants. 

"Up to now, about 40 bodies have been found," he said to AFP, adding that dozens more were feared buried under the rubble.
