Iran urges an international investigation into mounting evidence and reports that Israeli forces have used bulldozers to crush and bury sick and wounded Palestinian civilians alive in the courtyard of a hospital in the Gaza Strip.
On Saturday, footage released by Al Jazeera television network showed mangled tents and belongings of Palestinians in the courtyard of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia in the northern part of the besieged Gaza Strip.
“International investigation into the matter is a must,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan’ani said in a post on his X account on Monday.
He added that the footage published following the retreat of the Israeli military from Kamal Adwan show that “some wounded people were buried alive in the hospital grounds by bulldozers.”
The Iranian spokesperson added that Israel’s “true face and anti-human” nature has never been more exposed than in the war against Gaza.
“After the killing of hundreds of Palestinians and the Zionists’ preventing the bodies from being taken out, the Al-Shafa Hospital has turned into a mass grave,” Kan’ani tweeted.
Speaking in a Saturday press statement, Palestinian Health Minister Mai Alkaila said information and testimonies collected from eyewitnesses, medical teams, and media crews indicate that the Israeli regime’s forces buried Palestinians alive in the hospital’s courtyard.
