The Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip announced, on Thursday, that the number of bodies recovered from mass graves in Khan Yunis reached 392, noting that “some of them were handcuffed,” and speaking of “suspicions of carrying out liquidations and field executions.”
A few days ago, the Civil Defense announced the discovery of mass graves in the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, from which hundreds of bodies were recovered.
On Wednesday, a large number of families of dead and missing people gathered near the hospital, searching for their loved ones.
The Civil Defense accused the Israeli forces, which carried out a massive military operation in the hospital over a period of weeks, of killing Palestinians and burying them in the place, but the Israeli army considered this story to be “unfounded.”
Colonel Yamen Abu Suleiman said, on Thursday, in a press conference held in Rafah that civil defense crews recovered 392 bodies from the Nasser Medical Complex, 165 of which were identified.
He added: "It was observed that there were three mass graves in the Nasser Medical Complex, the first in front of the morgue, the second behind it, and the third north of the dialysis building, in which the bodies of the martyrs were piled up."
He continued: "There are indications and suspicions that field executions were carried out against some of them, suspicions that physical torture was practiced on another part, and other suspicions that some of them were buried alive."
