Civil defence says about 60 bodies found in two Gaza City districts
The civil defence agency in Hamas-run Gaza said Friday that about 60 bodies had been found in an initial search of two Gaza City districts where Israeli troops ended an offensive.
The bodies were found in the Tal al-Hawa and Al-Sinaa districts, the agency said. Israeli troops had pulled out after days of battles with Hamas militants, the agency and residents said. This was not immediately confirmed by Israel.
Civil defence and medical teams had "recovered approximately 60 martyrs since the moment the Israeli occupation army withdrew this morning," an agency statement said.
