WHAT HAPPENED
Hamas announced a mass funeral for 112 individuals it says were killed in an IDF strike that occurred at the opening of the Gaza war. The burial, held after a months‑long effort to recover bodies from rubble, underscores the human toll of the early fighting. No official IDF statement has confirmed the alleged strike.
According to The Times of Israel, the victims were extracted from collapsed structures over several months before the funeral. The IDF has not commented on the specific incident, though it has publicly stated that it is tightening its strike policy in Gaza amid pressure from the Board of Peace. The funeral marks a rare public commemoration of casualties that occurred during the conflict’s initial stages.
The Gaza war began in late October, leading to intense air and ground operations. Civilian casualties have been a key point of contention between Israeli forces and Palestinian authorities, with both sides alleging responsibility for deaths.
