Egypt Daily news - The Gaza civil Defense announced  on Thursday, that the number of bodies recovered from mass graves in Khan Yunis reached 392, noting that “some of them were handcuffed,” and speaking of “suspicions of carrying out liquidations and field executions.”

A few days ago, the Civil Defense announced the discovery of mass graves in the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, from which hundreds of bodies were recovered.

On Wednesday, a large number of families of dead and missing people gathered near the hospital, searching for their loved ones.

The Gazan Civil Defense accused the Israeli forces, which carried out a massive military operation in the hospital over a period of weeks, of killing Palestinians and burying them in the place, but the Israeli army considered this story to be “unfounded.”

Colonel Yamen Abu Suleiman said, on Thursday, in a press conference held in Rafah that civil defense crews recovered 392 bodies from the Nasser Medical Complex, 165 of which were identified.

He added: "It was observed that there were three mass graves in the Nasser Medical Complex, the first in front of the morgue, the second behind it, and the third north of the dialysis building, in which the bodies of the martyrs were piled up."

He added: "There are indications and suspicions that field executions were carried out against some of them, suspicions that physical torture was practiced on others, and other suspicions that some of them were buried alive."

Mohamed Al-Mughayer, Director of the Civil Defense Supply and Equipment Department in the Gaza Strip, said at the press conference that some of the bodies were “hand bound with plastic ties,” noting that some of the dead were also wearing similar white clothes, which raised suspicions that they were field executions and liquidations.

He added: "We also observed various methods of handcuffing some bodies with belts and cloth, from feet to hands, and this indicates torture."

Al-Mughair said that the search and recovery operations continued for seven days, and one of the difficulties the teams faced was that some of the bodies were buried at a depth of more than three meters, which is a method that contradicts the usual burial processes in the Gaza Strip.

He pointed out that "many of the bodies had their shrouds changed and placed in new blue and black shrouds," speaking of "decomposition" and "the disappearance of some evidence."

The Israeli army denied that its forces dug these graves.

Israeli government spokesman David Mincer said on Wednesday that the accusations against the army of burying the bodies of Palestinians are “unfounded and false.”
