Palestinian medics recovered the bodies of at least 42 people in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip following Israeli army withdrawal from the area, local authorities said on Tuesday.

“The bodies of 42 victims were recovered in the past few hours,” Ismail Thawabta, head of Gaza’s government media office, told Anadolu Agency.
“We expect the number of deaths to rise as there are still many bodies under the rubble,” he added.
Thawabta said that Israeli forces had bulldozed residential buildings and service facilities during its attack.
“This is a clear and complete war crime carried out with the support of the US administration, which provides Tel Aviv with weapons,” he added.
