02:30Palestinians gathered to mourn their dead in the Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood on Friday following reports of the Israeli army's withdrawal from some parts of Gaza City.
Footage shows locals bidding their farewells before burying their loved ones and performing the Islamic janazah (funeral) prayer. Footage also shows corpses laid in the neighbourhood's streets as well as destroyed buildings and piles of rubble.
This comes after the Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood faced heavy Israeli bombardment earlier on Friday, according to the Palestinian News and Information Agency, WAFA.
The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) announced through their official Telegram channel on Thursday that their forces had conducted an operation in central Gaza earlier this week.
"IDF troops operating in central Gaza located a weapons production workshop as well as a large amount of funds used for terrorist activity. Furthermore, terrorists who posed a threat to the troops in the area were eliminated," the statement said.
The army has not confirmed whether their troops have partially withdrawn from Gaza City.
According to the Palestinian Civil Defence, at least 60 bodies have been recovered from the neighbourhood following the army's operation.
Fighting continues for the tenth month in Gaza after Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on southern Israel on October 7, killing 1,139 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping over 200 according to Israeli officials.
Israel declared war on the group and a 'complete siege' of Gaza, with a large-scale campaign of air strikes. A ground incursion began at the end of the third week, with Israeli leaders vowing to 'wipe out' Hamas. Palestinian officials reported that at least 38,345 people had been killed and more than 88,295 injured at time of publication.
The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) claimed that Hamas locations and infrastructure were targeted in the response. However, United Nations experts warned against 'collective punishment' for the people of Gaza, before predicting a 'humanitarian crisis' and then claimed that 'hell is settling in' for the region.
