In a harrowing revelation, Mahmoud Basal, the spokesperson for the Civil Defense in Gaza, disclosed that around 300 decomposing bodies with signs of torture were scattered in the vicinity of al-Shifa Medical Complex and its surrounding areas following the withdrawal of occupation forces after a two-week siege.

Basal confirmed that the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) had executed civilians, whose bodies were found handcuffed at al-Shifa hospital. Furthermore, he detailed that the IOF had set fire to wards within the hospital, leaving devastation in their wake as they destroyed all medical equipment and supplies.
