Gaza’s Hamas-run civil defense agency says more than 50 bodies were recovered from the wreckage and brought to hospitals across the territory today after Israel declared a ceasefire and started pulling back troops.
Mohammed al-Mughayyir, an official within the rescue force, says at least 55 bodies had been retrieved. He does not give further details about when or how the people were killed.
The director of Al-Shifa Hospital, Mohammed Abu Salmiya, tells AFP that 33 of the bodies were brought to hospitals across Gaza City, which was the scene of a grueling Israeli offensive before Friday’s ceasefire.
He says that one of the dead had been “targeted today by Israeli fire near the Baraka area in Sheikh Radwan, north of Gaza City.”
The civil defense confirmed that Israeli troops and armored vehicles were pulling back from forward positions in both Gaza City and the southern city of Khan Younis, as part of the IDF withdrawal.
