EU urges probe into Palestinian claim of mass graves at Gaza hospitals

The European Union calls for an independent probe into Palestinian claims they discovered mass graves at two Gaza hospitals destroyed in Israeli operations.
“This is something that forces us to call for an independent investigation of all the suspicions and all the circumstances, because indeed it creates the impression that there might have been violations of international human rights committed,” EU spokesman Peter Stano says.
The IDF has strongly denied digging mass graves, and says it only dug out existing graves to search for hostages in pinpoint cases. Geolocated footage points to the graves having been dug by Palestinians amid the fighting.
