Bodies of Palestinians recovered following Israeli army withdrawal from central Gaza town
GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – Emergency teams in Gaza retrieved on Monday bodies of Palestinians following a five-day incursion by the Israeli army into the eastern regions of Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip, sources and witnesses said.
The military withdrew from the city, but Palestinians attempting to return to their homes were targeted, leading to multiple casualties.
Emergency teams were able to access the areas previously occupied by the Israeli military and recover the bodies.
The military also demolished numerous homes and razed several residential and agricultural zones.
Israel continues its war on Gaza, having killed more than 37,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children.
Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which in its latest ruling ordered Tel Aviv to immediately halt its operation in the southern city of Rafah, where over a million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
