"Israeli bulldozers ruthlessly dig and destroyed al-Batish Cemetery, meant for emergencies. Bodies, including my cousin's, buried recently, are now scattered. It's devastating not being able to locate my cousin and friends. The disrespect for the deceased is beyond comprehension." - Source

Archivist Notes On This Video

The Gaza government media office reported that Israeli forces exhumed 1,100 graves in the Al Batsh cemetery in Attufah neighborhood, north of Gaza Tuffah cemetery in Gaza City and took 150 bodies. Videos shared by Palestinians show bodies being unearthed.

They previously razed the cemetry.

This follows previous incidents, including the return of 80 bodies taken from Gaza City and northern areas last month, according to Al Jazeera.

The details for each video come from social media. None of it has been verified.
