About 60 bodies were found in several parts of Gaza after the withdrawal of the Israeli army, while heavy fighting continues in other areas of the Palestinian territory, the Palestinian Civil Service announced.
The bodies were found in Tal el Hawa and El Sina districts, the statement said.
Israeli forces entered those neighborhoods this week, after ordering civilians to evacuate on Monday.
The information was released at a time when international mediators continued negotiations in an attempt to stop the war, which entered its 10th month, AFP reported.
Residents and the agency said Israeli troops withdrew after days of fighting with Hamas militants. Israel has not confirmed this yet.
US President Joseph Biden said yesterday at the NATO summit in Washington that, despite the problems, US diplomats and other mediators are making “progress” towards a ceasefire and stressed that “it’s time to end this war”.
