Les Israéliens ont détruit 16 cimetières à Gaza et déterré des dizaines de corps, sous prétexte qu'ils recherchaient les restes des Israéliens https://t.co/BbCwd6hS1H
Video Transcript AI Summary
The Israeli military has acknowledged entering a cemetery in search of Israeli hostages' remains, but an investigation has revealed that 16 cemeteries in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed. CNN's analysis found that the Israeli military has deliberately targeted cemeteries, turning some into military outposts and bulldozing others. International law protects cemeteries as civilian sites, and their intentional destruction is a violation. The Israeli military claims that some cemeteries were used by Hamas for military purposes, but experts argue that this systematic desecration shows a lack of respect for the dead and cultural heritage. The destruction of cemeteries could be seen as evidence of Israel's intent.

Speaker 0: Today, the Israeli military acknowledge that they rolled into a cemetery, took bodies out of graves as part of what they say is a search for Israeli hostages remains. But as the Israeli military put out that statement, we were completing our investigation into the Israeli military's desecration of cemeteries. And what we found is 16 cemeteries across Gaza damaged or destroyed. I do wanna warn our viewers that they may find some of these images disturbing. In Gaza, even the dead cannot escape the indignities of war.
More than a dozen cemeteries like this one in Jabaliya desecrated by the Israeli military. Gravestones destroyed, soil upturned, tread marks leaving little left for the living to honor their dead. This is that same graveyard before the war. 1 month later, a series of tread marks can be seen on the northwestern edge. It is no exception.
A CNN analysis of videos and satellite imagery found that Teen cemeteries have been damaged or destroyed by the Israeli military since it launched its ground offensive. As Israeli forces push deeper into Gaza, they crushed the graves of thousands of Palestinians between November January. Janina Dill, codirector of Oxford University's Institute For Ethics, Law, and Armed Conflict says destroying graveyards violates international law except under very limited circumstances.
Speaker 1: Cemeteries are not military objectives. They are in fact what international law would consider A an object that is normally dedicated to civilian purposes, like places of worship generally. So this is protected from intentional attack. It can only be intentionally attacked or destroyed if it becomes a military objective.
Speaker 0: In some cases, like this cemetery in the Shazayer refugee camp, Israeli bulldozers turned cemeteries into military outposts, parking armored vehicles behind freshly raised berms. The damage is often deliberate and progressive. Over 2 weeks in December, the military bulldozed more and more of this Cemetery east of Han Yoonis, building defensive fortifications. CNN witnessed Firsthand, the results of Israel's bulldozing of graveyards while embedded with Israeli forces last week. The armored personnel carrier CNN was Traveling in drove right through this cemetery in Al Berej on a freshly bulldozed dirt road.
And then there's this. Tombs opened at a cemetery in Han Yunus this week. Bodies removed from their graves. In a statement, the Israeli military acknowledged exhuming bodies from the cemetery as part of its search for the bodies of Israeli hostages. An IDF spokesman could not account for the damage to the 16 cemeteries identified by CNN, but said that in some cases, there is no other choice.
Providing this photo of what it says is a Hamas rocket launcher at a cemetery in Gaza. CNN could not independently verify where it was taken. The spokesman could not account for the military posts over graveyards, but said we have a serious obligation to the respect of the dead, And there is no policy to create military posts out of graveyards. In at least one case, the Israeli military appears to have taken pains to maneuver around a graveyard. The Deir el Ballahor Cemetery, which holds the remains of many Christian and Jewish soldiers from World War 1 left intact despite devastation all around.
At the Al Faa cemetery, a very different picture. Residents say bodies were uprooted by Israeli bulldozers.
Speaker 2: We're currently retrieving the corpses of the martyrs that are present in the cemetery. The occupation forces have run over most them with their bulldozers, and we've only identified a small number of corpses and marshes. As for the rest, their identities remain unknown.
Speaker 0: South Africa cited Israel's destruction of cemeteries as part of its case arguing Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Israel denied the allegation, but experts say cemetery destruction could be evidence of Israel's intent.
Speaker 1: There is Huge symbolic meaning to the notion that not even the dead are left in peace. It suggests that disrespect towards the kind of spiritual life Of your enemy, their cultural property and heritage, it's an evidence of an animus against your enemy that that is unhelpful in this context.
Speaker 0: The Israeli military is still desecrating graves in Gaza. At the Han Yoonas cemetery where the military dug up bodies this week, the damage is extensive and all too familiar. Tombs destroyed, shrouded bodies sticking out of the soil. The dead roused from their final rest. And the Israeli military pointed to Hamas using some of these cemeteries for military purposes to justify, what we've documented here.
But what we're talking about isn't just strikes on these cemeteries. In some cases, It's the bulldozing of entire cemeteries, putting military outposts there, heavy armored vehicles driving right through the graves, showing very little care for the dignity of the dead. It speaks to something far more systematic than what the military acknowledged.

Speaker 0: D'autant moins qu'il y a un troisième piège qui est celui du moralisme. Et là nous avons en quelque sorte la preuve par neuf à travers ce qui se passe en Ukraine et ce qui se passe au Proche-Orient de ce deux poids deux mesures qui est dénoncé partout dans le monde et y compris dans les dernières semaines quand je me déplace en Afrique au Moyen-Orient ou en Amérique latine, le reproche est toujours le même. Mais regardez la façon dont les populations civiles sont traitées à Gaza, vous dénoncez ce qui s'est passé en Ukraine, vous dénoncez ce qui s'est passé en Ukraine et vous êtes bien timide face au drame qui se joue à Gaza.
Speaker 1: Mais vous êtes d'accord avec ça
Speaker 0: Je je ne dis pas parce que bien évidemment je pense que il faut savoir évaluer chacune des situations. Mais prenez le droit international, deuxième critique qui nous est faite par le sud global. Le droit international, nous sanctionnons la si quand elle agresse l'Ukraine, nous sanctionnons la Russie quand elle ne respecte pas les résolutions des Nations unies et voilà soixante-dix ans que les résolutions des Nations unies sont votés en vain et que l'Israël ne
Speaker 1: les respecte pas. Vous avez l'air disant cela pardon Dominique de Vipin de de de donner de l'eau au moulin De ceux qui estiment que les occidentaux sont dans un péché d'orgueil, est-ce que vous estimez qu'aujourd'hui les occidentaux sont dans un péché d'orgueil
Speaker 0: Apolline de Malherbe. Les occidentaux doivent ouvrir les yeux sur l'ampleur du drame historique qui se joue devant nous pour trouver les bonnes réponses.
Speaker 1: C'est quoi le drame historique
Speaker 0: le drame historique se joue devant nous Le drame
Speaker 1: du sept octobre quand même d'abord non
Speaker 0: Mais le drame du sept octobre est l'engrenage qui à partir de ce drame peut nous conduire si nous n'apportons pas les réponses justes parce que vous savez il y a bien sûr ces horreurs qui se passent mais la façon d'y répondre elle est essentielle. Est-ce que nous allons Mais que fallait-il faire Est-ce que nous allons assassiner l'avenir en trouvant les malheureux.
Speaker 1: Assassiner l'avenir. Assassiner l'avenir. Assassiner l'avenir. Pourquoi Qui assassine qui
Speaker 0: Mais mais mais vous êtes à la recherche.
Speaker 1: Je voudrais comprendre parce que c'est vrai que je Vous êtes
Speaker 0: dans un jeu, vous êtes dans un jeu de cause et d'effet. Dans la chaîne des causalités face aux tragiques de l'histoire, on ne peut pas prendre cette grille d'analyse tout simplement parce qu'on n'en sort pas.
