At least 320 bodies have been discovered buried in a mass grave at the destroyed Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, just weeks after a similar mass grave containing up to 400 bodies was discovered amid the ruins of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. Some of the bodies, which include children, medical staff and patients, appear to have been executed or buried alive. Meanwhile, Israel continues its bombardment of Gaza as its assault of the beleaguered enclave surpasses 200 days. Every single body that is being unearthed, you find tens of people rushing for the sake of identifying whether those are their relatives, says Akram al-Satarri, a journalist based in Gaza. Some of the people were tied. Some of the people had medical accessories on their hands, like the cannulas. And when they were unearthed from the ground, it was apparent that they were buried alive. Some people were tortured. Some of the bodies were extremely mutilated, which means that those bodies, some of their organs were taken by the Israeli occupation.

(2,506 posts)Hamas is keeping hostages alive, but torturing, mutilating, and executing their own people? Not defending Hamas and wouldn't put anything past them, but sometimes good people do bad things. War brings out the worst in people.

(14,838 posts)They have been shown to hold them against their will and to use them as human shields. They will torture them for not complying with orders. They will kill them for daring to get aid without permission.
So yeah, I have no doubt this was hamas handiwork.

(22,397 posts)Am I just supposed to assume that any horrific atrocity is Hamas' doing, simply because they are incredibly evil?
I usually find when I get attacked for requesting tangible proof that the attacker is trying to conceal their guilt.
