The bodies were discovered after Israeli soldiers reportedly cleared parts of Tal al-Hawa and Sanaa neighborhoods after several days of bombardment and fighting. The Israeli military had moments before announced incursions into districts it said were home to Hamas militants who had regrouped.
Horrific scenes of lifeless people being carried to the nearest health center underlined the horror of nine months of the Gaza war.
Invading almost every city section around the city on a modest scale since October, Israeli forces have actually been re-invading parts several times due to Hamas’ changes and maintaining actions. Palestinians are forced to flee repeated proselytizing attacks – or face a level playing field and loss of life. Stop-fire talks proceed, but are by no means successful.
Videos circulated on social media showed civil defense workers wrapping bodies, including several women, in blankets on the debris-filled streets of Tal al-Hawa and Sanaa. Where workers dug into the collapsed structure, a hand emerged from the broken concrete. Alternative video confirmed burnt structures.
Mahmoud Bassal, director of civil defense in Gaza, said about 60 bodies had been found so far, including entire families who appeared to have been killed during artillery fire and aerial bombardment. He said some of the bodies had been partially eaten by dogs.
“There are houses we can’t reach, and there are people who were burned inside their houses,” he said, adding that many of those who died were ordered to evacuate. Later they were left in shelters.
Fadel Naim, director of the in-site al-Ahli clinic, said dozens of bodies found in the districts had been brought to the facility, although he did not have an exact number.
The Israeli military said it would no longer comment on the discovery of the bodies. Israel’s attack on the district began today and it issued an evacuation plan for the area on Monday. In a comment on Friday, the army said its troops focused on the isolated headquarters compound of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA, where it said Hamas had set up operations.
UNRWA isolated the compound in October at the beginning of the war. The army said on Friday that troops had battled Hamas and Islamic Jihad opponents inside the compound and seized material for drone manufacturing in addition to a cache of weapons. It released photographs of one of the exposed contents, despite the fact that the claims can no longer be freely displayed.
The scenes in Tal al-Hawa mirror those in another Gaza Town community, Shijaiyah, from which Israeli troops also withdrew in recent days after more than two weeks of offensive. Civil defense workers reported finding about 60 bodies in Shijaiya on Thursday, with more bodies believed to be buried under debris.
Many people in Gaza City and the situation in the north ran away first in the war, However the United Nations estimates that about 300,000 of the population live in the north. With every new attack, the population constantly flees to other parts of the north, as Israel has so far not allowed those fleeing the south to return to the north.
After this Israel started its marketing campaign in Gaza Hamas’ October 7 attack In which militants raided southern Israel, killing about 1,200 people – mostly civilians – and abducting about 250 others.
Since the closest, by size, Israeli Gazan attacks and bombings have killed more than 38,300 people in Gaza. condition ministry, It no longer differentiates between adversaries and its dependent citizens. More than 80% of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million was driven from their homes, and most are crowded into virtually filthy tent camps, and facing widespread starvation.
Meanwhile, in Cairo, mediators are moving forward to work on suggestions for a trade between Israel and Hamas that would include a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said Thursday that Israel would send a delegation to further talks as US, Egyptian and Qatari mediators attempt to seal a commitment.
On the other hand, obstacles remain. Hamas is insisting that talks will continue until a permanent ceasefire is reached. Netanyahu says that Israel will not agree to any agreement that stops the military campaign before the elimination of Hamas.
Netanyahu is down to growing power regionally and around the world. Large sections of the Israeli public are challenging the commitment to release hostages over the next nine months of the war, although Netanyahu has insisted that the aggression will not end until Israel achieves its goal of getting rid of Hamas. Will happen.
Family members of hostages are marching on Jerusalem to demand the release of business and their family members as Israeli politicians, including Protection Minister Yoav Galant, demand a major executive investigation into the practices of Israeli leaders. Have been.
There is still a possibility of regional tension increasing. Israel’s military said Friday that one of its soldiers was killed in fighting in northern Israel as the country’s military and Lebanese militant group Hezbollah continued cross-border fire. The Iranian-backed group and Israel were exchanging fire almost daily, with Hezbollah announcing that it was joining Israel in a team spirit with Hamas and would cease its attacks as soon as a ceasefire was reached in Gaza.
President Joe Biden discussed unhappiness and frustration with the war and Israel’s government at a news conference on Thursday, pointing to growing hopes of a ceasefire.
Biden said prospects have brightened with Israel and Hamas now committing to greater terms of trade in exchange for an end to the fighting and the release of hostages. Mediators were helping to fill gaps in commitment, he said.
