Palestinians in Gaza hold a mass funeral for 112 bodies recovered from the rubble of a deadly Israeli airstrike in 2023. Multiple outlets report that the funeral takes place in Gaza City and involves members of two extended families. The recovered remains are said to have been found only recently, after the bodies were buried under damaged buildings following the strike in the earliest weeks of the war.
BBC reports the bodies were recovered from under rubble in Gaza City and belong to members of two extended families. NBC News and The Independent describe the funeral as being for 112 Palestinians killed during Israeli airstrikes in 2023, with The Independent emphasizing that the bodies are finally recovered after months. Stuff.co.nz, citing AP, adds that the incident occurred on Nov. 22, 2023, when Israeli warplanes flattened a residential block and killed more than 300 people.
Across reports, mourners participate in a single large funeral for the recovered victims, reflecting the delayed retrieval of remains from the 2023 strike sites.
