A mass grave containing nearly 300 bodies has been discovered at a hospital in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, Gaza Civil Defense officials said Monday, following the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the area earlier this month.

Director of Civil Defense in Khan Younis, Yamen Abu Suleiman, told CNN on Monday that "today, 73 bodies were found" in the courtyard of the Nasser Medical Complex, which brought the "total number to 283".

Sulejmani claimed that some of the bodies were found with their hands and feet tied, "and there were signs of executions in the field. We do not know if they were buried alive or executed. Most of the bodies are decomposed.”

According to witnesses, people had buried the bodies of family members who had been killed on the hospital grounds in January as a temporary measure. When they returned after the Israeli withdrawal, they found the bodies had been exhumed, apparently because the IDF was using DNA testing to determine if any of the hostages held in Gaza were among the dead.
