The bodies of 112 Palestinians who died after being trapped under the rubble of buildings in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City's Sabra neighborhood in November 2023 were recovered after a long search, and a joint funeral was held on Tuesday.
In this attack, which targeted residential areas just weeks after the conflict began, more than 300 people were killed, and only about 40 bodies had been recovered at the time.
Following the current temporary ceasefire, rescue teams operating under the Hamas Interior Ministry carried out intensive search operations over the weekend. During this time, the bodies of 112 people, including 40 children, were recovered from the rubble.
Hundreds of people gathered to pay their final respects in tears to the bodies, which were draped in Palestinian flags. They were then buried in a nearby cemetery after the final prayers. The search for the bodies of 157 more people is continuing.
