Evidence suggests Palestinian assertion of discovery of hundreds of bodies buried by IDF is false and that the bodies were previously buried there by the Palestinians themselves
Hamas officials in Gaza claimed on Saturday to discover a mass grave with more than 200 bodies at a hospital in Khan Younis that was recently the target of a military raid. The officials claimed the dead were buried in a mass grave by Israeli forces, but evidence suggested this claim was false, with the bodies having previously been buried at that same location by Palestinians amid the fighting between Israeli forces and terror operatives in the area.
The Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday rejected Hamass allegation as baseless. It said forces searching for Israeli hostages had examined bodies previously buried by Palestinians near Nasser Hospital and had returned the bodies to where they were buried after they were examined.
It has been documented that Palestinians buried their dead at the hospital grounds both before and while Israeli troops operated in the area. Hamas officials in Gaza claimed on Saturday to discover a mass grave with more than 200 bodies at a hospital in Khan Younis that was recently the target of a military raid.

It has been documented that Palestinians buried their dead at the hospital grounds both before and while Israeli troops operated in the area. The location of that burial site was geo-located by experts to the same location where Hamas officials claimed to have discovered the new mass grave.

(12,462 posts)1. Doesn't matter what Israel says,
the faithful will believe anything that HAMAS puts forward, as has been seen many times, especially in the UN.
Didn't the UN also say that those bodies hands were tied up?
Gee, I wonder where they got that info from?
