According to GMO, the grave was found at the Nasser Medical Complex, where 73 bodies were recovered on Monday alone, bringing the total count to 283. Medical staff and international observers described the hospital as a "graveyard" following Israeli raids on the facility.

In addition to the initial mass grave, three more were discovered on the hospital grounds. The civil defence department retrieved the bodies of women, children, and young men who had been missing for the past two months since the Israeli military first stormed the hospital.

The GMO highlighted that a significant number of the deceased were women and children, suggesting that Israeli forces deliberately bulldozed numerous bodies and buried them before withdrawing from the area.

Moreover, approximately 2,000 Palestinians have reportedly gone missing following the withdrawal of occupation forces from the medical facility, GMO added.

The revelation has sparked widespread outrage and calls for accountability as authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding the mass grave and the fate of the missing individuals. (ILKHA)
