Original Social Media Post

"The occupation army concluded its military operation in #KhanYounis today and withdrew after 22 days of widespread destruction and altering the area. Rescue teams found at least 9 Palestinian martyrs, with reports that dogs and cats had gnawed on parts of them. Efforts have now begun to clear the rubble in search of other victims. The occupation forces began this operation against Khan Younis on August 8, ordering thousands of residents to evacuate under the pretext that the area was being used as bases by the #resistance to launch rockets at the occupation army"

Archivist Notes On This Video

Footage taken after the IDF announced allowing civilians to return to some areas of Khan Younis, August 30th, 1:13pm Jerusalem time, reveals significant crimes

The landscape of the Al-Mahatta area in Khan Younis has been utterly transformed due to the IDF's extensive excavation operations, which have persisted for over ten days; leaving no recognizable landmarks. Additional footage shows that the IDF's 98th Division destroyed the main Mekorot water lines located on Al-Sikka Street during these excavations. https://x.com/Hamzaalnamla1/status/1829446777830793525

Furthermore, civilians discovered that the IDF severed the connection between South and Central Gaza by land bulldozing Salah El-Din road, which serves to connect Al-Qarara with Deir al-Balah. The road can only be crossed on foot now, and this act further undermines Palestinians right to return and move freely in their land, allowing Israel more control.

Major Raed Saqr of the Civil Defense teams reported the recovery of the bodies of an elderly couple at their home who were summarily executed as their autopsy confirmed multiple gunshot wounds.
