Palestinians hold a mass funeral in Gaza City for 112 Palestinians whose bodies are recovered from the site of a deadly Israeli air strike in 2023. Multiple outlets report that crews recover the remains after they were buried for nearly three years under rubble from a residential block in Gaza’s Sabra neighborhood. BBC News and others say the victims come from members of two extended families. The funeral is attended by mourners as families bury the dead despite reports that many others remain unaccounted for, with some victims believed to still be missing beneath debris.
Reports place the strike during the early weeks of the war between Israel and Hamas, specifically around Nov. 22, 2023, when warplanes flattened the residential area and killed more than 300 people according to the cited accounts. While details of the broader death toll are described differently across coverage, the central point is consistent: 112 bodies are recovered after a long period, and a large funeral is held in Gaza to commemorate and bury them.
