CNN Finds Israel Killed Palestinian Aid Seekers and Bulldozed Bodies into Shallow, Unmarked Graves

HeadlineDec 05, 2025

Israel’s military is continuing to pound the Gaza Strip in violation of the October 10 ceasefire agreement. Al Jazeera reports Israeli ships opened fire toward the coast of Khan Younis, while air raids struck the city of Rafah. There are reports of explosions and Israeli artillery fire around Gaza City, including airstrikes near the Maghazi refugee camp.

Meanwhile, a CNN investigation has found the Israeli military fired indiscriminately at starving Palestinians collecting sacks of flour near an aid distribution site near the Zikim crossing in June, then bulldozed their bodies into shallow, unmarked graves, with some bodies left to decompose or be partially eaten by dogs. Gaza officials and the United Nations estimate about 10,000 Palestinians remain missing from Israel’s more than two-year assault, while the official death toll recently passed 70,000.
