Palestinians are exhuming bodies from the grounds of the Nasser Medical Complex hospital complex in Khan Younis, Gaza.
This is occurring at the same location where mass graves were dug and burial ceremonies had taken place by Palestinians in recent months. (Proof in this thread)
Footage from Palestinians digging graves/mass graves dated 25 January, 28 January and 03 February while IDF entered the hospital around 15 February.
Quote from
“In the hospital courtyard, civil defence members and paramedics have retrieved 180 bodies buried in this mass grave by the Israeli military." (By Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud)
Conclusion:
This is disinformation by Al Jazeera and others:
This is a known graveyard/mass grave and at least partially dug by Palestinians.
This does not exclude that graves could have been added when the hospital was occupied by Israeli forces.aljazeera.com/news/2024/4/21…
25 JAN 2024 - Palestinian burials by Palestinian people in Nasser Hospital. (VID 01)
An estimation of 75 graves (3 rows of 25 graves) are visible on this video at the exact place where they claimed to have found a mass grave made by the Israeli military.
Still of the footage in VID 01 showing the source, the date and the estimated 75 graves.
28 JAN 2024 - As claimed "More than 30 bodies, most of them unidentified, were buried in a mass grave inside the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis due to the siege of the IDF." (Vid 02)
03 FEB 2024 - In this footage you see Palestinians digging a mass grave 50m east, at the other side of the building visible in the footage above. (VID 03)
With this text:
"The bodies of thirty martyrs were buried in the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis."
Claiming that 180 bodies were buried in a mass grave "by IDF" is disinformation, by Al Jazeera and others.
This is a known graveyard/mass grave and at least partially dug by Palestinians. This does not exclude that graves could have been added when the hospital was occupied by Israeli forces.
Remark:
It is highly likely that hospitals were forced to bury the deceased on their own grounds or in nearby areas due to safety concerns around transporting the bodies to a formal graveyard.
For example, in a video from Nasser hospital, people mention that the facility was under siege, indicating they were unable to take the deceased to a graveyard and had to bury them on the hospital premises.
According to Islamic funeral customs, Muslims are typically expected to be buried as soon as possible after death, often within 24 hours.
This helps explain why the hospitals opted to conduct burials on their own grounds, with the intention of providing a proper funeral at a later, safer time. Reburial is a known practice in conflict situations.
Overall, the decision to bury the deceased on hospital grounds or nearby areas was likely a pragmatic one driven by safety and religious burial practices, rather than any malicious intent.

"Palestinians have dug a mass grave on the grounds of Nasser Hospital, as they lack a safe passage to transport bodies for proper burials. The hospital's manager says 150 bodies have been buried in the past few days after they started to decompose in the hospital's mortuary.'
This is the location visible in VID 03.
Reminder: This does not exclude that graves could have been added when the hospital was occupied by Israeli forces.

0:20 - "I am here to find the body of my son, his brother told me that he buried him here."
Reminder: in this thread we only proof that these mass graves existed before, just as the graveyards, and were at-least partially dug by Palestinians.
While the initial reporting spoke about "new mass graves" and people "buried in this mass grave by the Israeli military" with accompanying footage... while that footage taken was at the location of known mass graves.
I feel sorry for the fact that we are discussing now about how people should report... instead of making assumptions and unproven claims they should stick to facts.
All this while we should be talking about the important issue: Hundreds of people died and are buried at this place.

This thread contains footage of the Nahal Oz area.
At least four different factions participated in the assault on the military base near Nahal Oz and the kibbutz itself:

b) Al-Quds Brigades, military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
c) Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades.
d) Palestinian Freedom Movement, Al-Ansar Brigades

At sunrise, a large convoy of Palestinian militants, over 30, drive towards Israel in jeeps and with motorcycles. They drive in the direction of Nahal Oz, whilst outgoing rocket fire can be heard and seen.
GeoConfirmed Investigation - Thread 2 - October 7th 2023.
Thread 2 - Zikim area.
This thread contains footage of the Zikim area, highlighting three events:
1) Destruction of Remote-Controlled Weapon Systems
Israeli guard towers along the fence were equipped with remotely controlled weapon systems. These systems were neutralized at the onset of the attack using grenades dropped from drones.
This tactic mirrors the widespread use of drone-dropped munitions observed in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
2) Coastal Infiltration
Militants also employed boats to infiltrate the area via the coastline.
3) Civilian Casualties
The attack resulted in civilian casualties, including teenagers, who were killed at close range.

GeoConfirmed Investigation - Thread 1 - October 7th 2023.
Thread 1 - Massive Rocket barrage.
The attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, began with an unprecedented rocket barrage at approximately 6:30 a.m. local time.
Thousands of rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel, targeting various areas. This massive rocket attack forced many Israelis to seek shelter in bunkers and safe rooms.
The timing of the attack was strategically chosen to coincide with the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, when security forces were operating at minimum levels. This reduced security presence, combined with the early morning timing and the chaos caused by the rocket barrage, allowed Hamas militants to breach the Gaza-Israel barrier more easily.

A Belgian journalist and his fixer were abducted in Beirut, Lebanon, while his cameraman was shot in the leg and left behind. The journalist and the fixer were released a few hours later, albeit with injuries.
Yesterday @WarMonitors made some unusual assertions regarding "a Zionist spy that many Lebanese have seen many times"
These claims were accompanied by two videos, which were initially difficult to geolocate.
Both tweets had over 13k likes and over a million views.

In the morning, Belgian news agencies began reporting on the well-known war journalist @ramaekers_robin, who, along with his fixer, was kidnapped while covering the bombing of a specific apartment building in Bachoura Beirut, reportedly the office of Hezbullah's MP Amine Cherri.
(x.com/GeoConfirmed/s…)
When Robin was speaking with eyewitnesses of the attack, things went wrong. A group of approximately twenty men assaulted the journalists. The men accused Robin and Stijn of spying for Israel and began shooting at Stijn, who was hit by two bullets in the leg. Robin and the fixer were beaten and dragged away. They were then locked in a basement, where they were beaten several more times and interrogated for hours.
After their release, both journalists were hospitalized for their injuries. Ramaekers suffered facial fractures, while De Smet was treated for a leg wound caused by gunshots.

It seems they aimed to demonstrate that, even a year after Russian separatists conducted an incursion from Ukraine into Russia, Russia still struggles to adequately protect its borders.
