"Israeli Forces Search Gaza Cemetery for Hostages' Bodies"
The Israeli military conducted a search at a Gaza cemetery, reportedly looking for hostages taken by Palestinian militants. Locals identified the cemetery as the Khan Younis central cemetery, and eyewitnesses described a chaotic and violent night as Israeli tanks entered the area. Videos posted on social media showed destroyed cemetery walls and graves that had been dug up. The Israeli military stated that the search was in response to Hamas' abduction of Israeli hostages, but human rights organizations criticized the operation, citing violations of the sanctity of the deceased and the lack of evidence for the searches.
