Israel kills senior Hamas commander in Gaza strike– www.channelnewsasia.com

Also on Tuesday, Palestinians in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza buried the newly recovered remains of 41 people killed in a series of Israeli strikes on homes in the area in a single day three weeks into the war nearly three years ago.

Hundreds of relatives and friends gathered in an open space to pay respect as the remains were placed in white shrouds adorned with Palestinian flags.

“There are mixed feelings between relief, sadness, and pain. But thank God, the fire in my heart has eased a little, because my husband now has a grave that my orphaned children and I can visit,” said Areej Farajallah, who lost her husband.

The bodies were the latest of around 800 that have been recovered by excavation teams moving from site to site in the enclave during the ceasefire.

“With minimal equipment, their remains were recovered after hours of work, retrieving what was left of bones, some skulls, and hair with which it is extremely difficult for us to identify them,” said Rami Al-Ayedi, of Gaza’s Civil Defence Service.
