i24 News – Claims that Israel Defense Force (IDF) troops left mass graves on the territory of two Gaza hospitals, where they buried executed Palestinians, are merely the latest lurid fabrication to issue from Hamas, the Israeli military said on Saturday.
“The claim that the Israel Defense Force (IDF) buried Palestinian bodies is completely baseless,” the Israel Defense Force (IDF) says in response to a query on the matter.
Hamas falsely claimed they found bodies in mass graves at the Nasser and Al Shifa hospitals after the facilities was abandoned by Israeli troops, following counterterrorism operations.
The Israel Defense Force (IDF) said it exhumed a number of corpses buried by Palestinians on the grounds of the Nasser hospital in an effort to track hostages.
Earlier in the day Ravina Shamdasani, the spokesperson for the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, said that the U.N. human rights office was working on corroborating Palestinian reports that 283 bodies were found at Nasser and 30 at Al Shifa.
