In its dirty war against the Palestinian people, the Israeli army targets Gazan cemeteries

ByMuhammad

On January 12, 2024, near the Al-Maghazi refugee camp, Israeli troops stormed and captured a cemetery where fallen soldiers from the First World War were buried. This place of memory, preserved and protected for decades by the Gazans, hosts the graves of soldiers from dozens of different countries. An ecumenical cemetery where thousands of people of all religions who could be found in the allied troops of the war of 14-18 rest.

The Israeli army raised Israeli flags there to mark the symbolic capture

At the same time, Israeli soldiers are methodically destroying and razing Gazan cemeteries. This is particularly the case in Jabaliya, Beit Hanoun and Khan Younis where the city’s largest cemetery has just been devastated.

The Al-Namsawi cemetery in the Al-Nasser hospital area of ​​the city of Khan Younis was indeed deliberately destroyed. The majority of tombstones in this immense place of rest and memory were demolished by tanks and bulldozers, and dozens of bodies were excavated.

These practices are not new. On December 13, 2023, Israeli tanks devastated the Faluja cemetery in Jabalyia in the northern Gaza Strip.

The novelty of this umpteenth crime lies in the fact that the Israeli army took away the bodies of the Palestinians who were taken out of their graves.

Two cemeteries, that of the First World War in Al-Maghazi, where soldiers have been resting for more than a century and the other in Khan Younis, totally devastated by the Israeli army.
