Hundreds of Palestinians yesterday mourned the remains of 70 martyrs, whose bodies were recovered by Palestinian Civil Defense teams from beneath the rubble of destroyed homes in the Beit Lahiya and Jabalia Camp areas in northern Gaza Strip. The victims had been killed in intense Israeli air raids on residential neighborhoods in those areas during the early months of the war on Gaza. In a statement, the Civil Defense said its teams had recovered 70 bodies out of approximately 160 that were missing under the rubble of targeted homes in the Beit Lahiya project and western Jabalia, noting that the recovery operations took about 231 hours of work.
