A mass grave was discovered at al-Shifa Medical Complex after a deadly Israeli assault last month left the Gaza City hospital in ruins.
Several bodies were found Monday in the hospital’s courtyard, including at least one person wearing underwear who appeared to have been “executed recently” according to an Al Jazeera Arabic reporter at the scene.
After Israeli forces withdrew from the hospital on 1 April, teams from several government ministries were deployed to al-Shifa to remove and identify bodies.
The searches were initiated after survivors said they witnessed the summary execution of Palestinians by Israeli forces during the two-week raid that started in mid-March.
this picture of Dr Adnan al-Bursh was taken after he performed 28 surgeries in one day during the Great March of Return in 2018, when the apartheid entity's snipers shot 6000+ Palestinian protesters, killing over 200.
please listen to his words, he remained until the last moment saving the wounded before the IOF kidnapped and tortured him to death.
we will never forget. we will never forgive. the entity's reign of terror will end before our eyes.
No way the death toll is still 30,000 or even 40, 000. That they killed most of the people doing the counting factors in. And I’m sure that was intentional too.
DEATH'S SCENT FILLS THE AIR AROUND AL-SHIFA MEDICAL COMPLEX IN GAZA CITY

It’s so deeply fucked up that the killing of a half dozen foreign aid workers completely eclipsed one of the worst massacres in Palestinian history at Al-Shifa, where the IOF executed over 400 Palestinians along with the wholesale destruction of the largest hospital in Gaza.
Journalist Wadea Abu Alsaoud interviews a little girl named Lina, a survivor of the IOF siege of Al-Shifa medical complex. Lina describes the night that the IOF invaded. English translation is provided by Instagram user israa5q, reposted below.
Wadea: What happened when the Zionists broke into Al-Shifa Hospital and you were there?
Lina: The Zionists came, without anyone hearing.They came and began shouting “attention attention Shifa is besieged from the four corners. whoever will come close to the doors or try to peak a look from the windows, will be shot at."
W: The what happened?
L: They besieged us and drank tea in good mood.
W: What happened when you left?
L: They made us raise our hands in the air like this, and a woman came to my mom and told her to hold her belongings for a moment, then she was gone!
W: Where did the woman go, sister? (x2) Go on, sister
L: We got out from Shifa with a miracle.
W: A miracle?
L: Yes
W: What time was it? Was it at night or at morning?
After 2 weeks of brutally attacking and killing doctors, staff and patients inside Gaza’s largest hospital, the IDF withdrew from Al-shifa medial complex, leaving behind scenes of absolute horror.
Despite the UN Security Council passing a binding resolution demanding a ceasefire.
Israel continued committing atrocities within the Al-Shifa hospital complex, which are so vile and barbaric that they would shake the very foundation of our world, yet our governments chose to turn a blind eye, leaving thousands of people inside the largest hospital in Gaza against the barbaric Israeli killing machine.
I could not imagine the extent of this destruction and crimes
The Shifa Medical Complex was completely destroyed
The exhumation of graves inside the complex and executions of citizens and medical staff. What shocked me was running over the bodies with tanks and abusing them.
