Authorities in Gaza have completed their examination of mass graves at a hospital in the southern part of the strip, uncovering a total of 392 bodies, some still clad in surgical attire.

The Palestinian Civil Defense reported identifying 165 bodies at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, with the remaining 227 bodies under scrutiny for identification.

The discovery included three mass graves near the hospital premises.

The Israel Defense Forces denied involvement, stating that a grave at the Nasser complex was dug by Palestinians months earlier.

However, the Gaza Civil Defense asserted that approximately 100 bodies were buried there before the IDF’s operation in the area, CNN reported.

Graphic images displayed during a news conference revealed decomposed bodies, including children, some with signs of possible torture.

Claims of executions and burial of civilians alive are being investigated.

The Palestinian Civil Defense called for a UN-led international investigation into the mass graves, while Israel refuted accusations, attributing the graves to previous Palestinian actions.
