At least 16 cemeteries in Gaza have been desecrated by Israeli forces, satellite imagery and videos reveal

[David__77]

The Israeli military has desecrated at least 16 cemeteries in its ground offensive in Gaza, a CNN investigation has found, leaving gravestones ruined, soil upturned, and, in some cases, bodies unearthed.

…

The armored personnel carrier transporting a CNN team last week drove directly through the New Bureij cemetery in Al-Bureij, a Palestinian refugee camp in central Gaza, on its way out of the strip. Graves were visible on either side of the newly-bulldozed dirt road, as seen on a screen inside the vehicle showing a live feed from its front-facing camera. CNN confirmed the location of the cemetery by geolocating its footage from inside Gaza that day and checking against satellite imagery.

Other cemeteries analyzed by CNN in satellite imagery showed little to no signs of destruction, or military fortifications, among them two cemeteries where fallen soldiers from World War I and II, including Christians and some Jews, are buried.

…

But, in at least two cases, it is clear pains have been taken to respect the dead – at cemeteries where Palestinians aren’t buried.

1. 🥲

Even dead and buried Palestinians are not safe from this cruelty. The stench of this brutality will linger for ages.

2. The thing is Israel had the right to go after Hamas, but it has devolved into

Sadistic violence against people in the way.
It's what hamas did at the beginning but there has to be a conclusion.
This all goes back, and back, and back into antiquity.
I don't know an answer. Block off the area and let them go at it?

3. You don't bulldoze cemeteries if you believe in a

two-state solution. Just sayin'. The goal is to wipe out Palestinian history.

4. This is no longer a war against Hamas because the IDF knows they have no way to prevent Hamas fighters from their

tunnels. It is now maximum death nd destruction of everything in Gaza, evidently now including cemeteries that are certainly not military sites or targets. I feel bad for Israelis who do not support this carnage because they are being tarred with Netanyahu’s failure to remove Hamas while committing war crimes and genocide. Somehow, the sane people in Israel need to stop this madness and get rid of Netanyahu..

5. IDF is looking for bodies of hostages they suspect are buried in Palestinian graves.

Once again, were Hamas account for all the hostages, dead or alive, and return them, there wouldn’t be a single Palestinian grave touched in Gaza.

So who is the monster here, again?
