On October 7 last year, Israel launched a military offensive in Gaza after Hamas’s surprise attack. Starting from homesteads, residential buildings, hospitals, schools-colleges, mosques-churches were targeted by indiscriminate bombing. Killing innocent and unarmed ordinary Palestinians.
Most of the hospitals were destroyed within a few months of the start of the campaign. Last February (February 15), Israeli forces raided Nasser Hospital, the main hospital in southern Gaza. At that time, some of the indiscriminate killings by the Israeli soldiers and the disastrous situation in the hospital came up in the international media.
After nearly two months of surrounding the hospital, Israel withdrew its troops on April 7. Then a mass grave was found in front of the hospital. The Palestinian Emergency Services Department opened the mass grave. At first, it was reported that 50 bodies were found.
According to an Al Jazeera report published on Sunday (April 21), in a statement, the Palestinian Emergency Services Department said that their team found the bodies of 50 martyrs of various ages in Khan Yunis.
