The bodies of 392 people were found in mass graves at the Nasser medical complex in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip after the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the city, the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported. In Khan Yunis, they continue to dig up graves containing hundreds of those killed by the Israeli terrorists. More than 700 murdered Palestinians, including women and children, have already been discovered in three mass graves that have already been excavated.

World Central Kitchen to resume work in Gaza as hunger, malnutrition still stalks enclave
The not-for-profit organization World Central Kitchen has announced its plans to resume humanitarian activities in the Gaza Strip after a deadly Israeli drone strike earlier this month killed seven of its workers. The group’s CEO Erin Gore announced the plan as human rights organizations warn Gazans continue to face mass hunger amid an Israeli blockade of the besieged enclave.
“The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire,” the CEO emphasized. “We are restarting our operation with the same energy, dignity, and focus on feeding as many people as possible.” A news release on the World Central Kitchen’s website claimed a Palestinian-run team would distribute aid starting Monday.
"We have 276 trucks, with the equivalent of almost 8 million meals, ready to enter through the Rafah Crossing. We’ll also send trucks from Jordan," Gore said.
“Limited access to northern Gaza has hindered the ability of aid agencies to fully assess the situation there,” noted a report in Western media last month, but numerous instances of the starvation of children have been reported on social media. Newborn infants are particularly vulnerable, with the Israeli destruction of hospitals in the enclave exacerbating health concerns for babies born prematurely or with special health needs.
Gore added that aid workers are still under threat in Gaza, likely contributing to the group’s decision to fully delegate its work to local Palestinians for now.
The Israeli airstrike on the aid convoy prompted condemnation from the United States and other traditional allies of Israel . However, US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby claimed that is "no evidence" that Israel deliberately struck World Central Kitchen aid workers .

An Israeli battalion recruited from ultra-Orthodox men will be subject to US sanctions for violence against Palestinian civilians, Axios has found out. One of the dead was a 78-year-old American citizen who died during detention.
The United States will impose sanctions on a unit of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for the first time, Secretary of State Antony Blinken will announce this in the coming days, Axios writes, citing three sources.
The Netzach Yehuda battalion will be included in the restrictive lists for human rights violations in the West Bank, a Palestinian territory occupied by the Israeli army. The reason was incidents that occurred before the attack by Palestinians on Israel. Several other army and police units were also investigated; they won't be sanctioned because the problems have been fixed, one source said.
