Israeli occupation forces committed several gruesome massacres across several towns and neighborhoods in the Gaza Strip which were discovered on Friday, with the reported toll reaching 140 killed in Gaza City. 

Occupation forces' withdrawal from al-Shujaiya neighborhood, in eastern Gaza City, has also unraveled the scene of horrifying war crimes. As emergency workers arrived in the neighborhood, following two weeks of Israeli onslaught, more than 60 bodies of Palestinian martyrs were recovered on Friday.

The Palestinian Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip explained that dozens of others' bodies are yet to be recovered as they remain stuck under the rubble caused by Israeli strikes and shelling and many residents' whereabouts are yet to be determined. 

Authorities said that multiple Israeli quadcopter drones, equipped with rifles, are still swarming the city, arbitrarily hunting down Palestinians. 

In southwestern Gaza City, in Tell al-Hawa, occupation forces have launched another incursion into the neighborhood that has lasted for a couple of weeks. On Friday, occupation forces made it seem as though they had retreated from certain areas, luring citizens who had been displaced back to their homes, 

As soon as Palestinian civilians arrived in the area, they were targeted and multiple Palestinians were killed. 

The spokesperson for the Civil Defense, Mahmoud Bassal, said that occupation forces are still positioned in western Tell al-Hawa, across Street 8. 

Bassal urged civilians not to head toward the areas until Israeli occupation forces completely withdraw from the neighborhood.

Palestinian commission documents Israeli war crimes in Gaza City 

The International Commission to Support Palestinian People’s Rights (ICSPR) said that following the withdrawals in al-Shujaiya and areas in Tell al-Hawa, emergency workers recovered 60 martyrs in Tell al-Hawa, and 80 martyrs in al-Shujaiya. The bodies were found in residential blocs and streets in the two neighborhoods. Most of the martyrs found in the areas were children and women and some of the bodies had decomposed. 

In the case of decomposed bodies, white flags were found next to the bodies, indicating that those killed had been unarmed. 

The families of Palestinian victims in al-Shujaiya, al-Tuffah, al-Daraj, and other neighborhoods told ICSPR that their relatives were subject to cases of summary execution by Israeli occupation forces.

The victims of summary executions are of various families, including Zaydiyah, Sursour, al-Badri, and al-Ghalayini. Investigators also confirmed the reports of the Civil Defense, regarding the dozens of bodies stuck under the rubble caused by Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip. 

Three children killed in Central Gaza Strip 

Moving southwards, Israeli occupation forces committed multiple massacres in the central Gaza Strip, striking a home in Deir al-Balah, where four people were martyred, including three children aged less than 10 years, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported. 

In the Nuseirat refugee camp, several strikes impacted the home of the Akel family. Seven people were wounded, suffering severe injuries. 

Israeli warplanes also struck a home in Bani Suheila, a town in eastern Khan Younis in southern Gaza Strip. 

PFLP points to humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza

Commenting on the recently discovered massacres in Gaza City and the intense Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip on Friday, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) pointed to the occupation-committed fully-fledged war crimes in Rafah, Khan Younis, Tell al-Hawa, and al-Shujaiya. 

The front stressed the horrific scenes discovered by paramedics in neighborhoods that occupation forces had invaded and withdrew from. 

It emphasized that "children were not spared from these horrific massacres, as seen in the targeting of a children's gathering, reflecting the magnitude of the humanitarian catastrophe suffered by the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip."
