discovered bodies of women and children and people without heads, as well as torn body parts. israel's military says it exhumed bodies which palestinians had buried earlier as it searched for hostages seized by hamas. but some of the dead were patients. waleed believes his mother, lina, died of malnutrition and dehydration. her corpse was badly decomposed. translation: i identified her from particular - marks on her legs. she'd been wounded in november and had a toe amputated on each foot. israel blames any deaths of patients on natural causes, but the world health organization says those trapped endured horrific conditions. during the siege, 20 patients died and there were patients on oxygen who couldn't get oxygen. there was not proper medication. but also the food and water — there are stories that 15 people had to share one bottle of water. israel's army says palestinian gunmen were based inside al—shifa. and that over two weeks it killed more than 200 hamas and islamichhad operatives. shifa has become a main terrorism command centre for hamas. the surprise action by our forces was precise and surgical. but battles spread onto nearby streets. and here witnesses have told us that many civilians, including entire families, were also killed a dedicated surgeon was one of those shot dead close to the hospital where he worked. i spoke to a top british surgeon who'd helped train him. he was notjust hungry for knowledge. he was very gentle and somebody who all of us would want to have as our sort of doctors. dr ahmed was off shift at home near al—shifa when israeli forces returned. after four days under siege and a harsh interrogation by soldiers, he tried to leave gaza city on foot with his mother. 11 days after his disappearance, his father says, "we found ahmed's decomposed body." israel's military says it's unaware of the deaths of the surgeon and his mother. many others are still searching for loved ones missing since the al—shifa raid. with international forensic experts unable to get to the site, gazans are mostly focusing on finding the dead and giving them proper burials. and that adds to worries that the full truth of what happened here may never be uncovered. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. the us has responded and told bbc that the biden administration was looking into administration was looking into a number of incidents inside gaza to determine whether israel had complied with the law. tensions remain high along israel's northern border with lebanon, raising concerns about water war. several people were injured in a village in northern israel. benjamin yahoo threatened military auction will visiting a military base. —— action. translation: the -- action. translation: the round -- action. translation: the ground was — -- action. translation: the ground was also _ -- action. translation: the ground was also on _ —— action. translation: the ground was also on fire in lebanon _ ground was also on fire in lebanon. whoever thinks they will hurt — lebanon. whoever thinks they will hurt us will sent idly by and — will hurt us will sent idly by and we _ will hurt us will sent idly by and we will make —— is making a bil and we will make —— is making a big mistake _ and we will make —— is making a big mistake. 0ne and we will make —— is making a big mistake. one way or another, _ big mistake. one way or another, we will secure security _ another, we will secure security to the north. the israeli defence _ security to the north. tue israeli defence minister security to the north. tte israeli defence minister so there'll be no pause in fighting over a cease—fire proposal to do talks remain mostly stalled. a leader said the group wants a permanent end to hostilities and the withdrawal of troops from gaza as part of a cease—fire. it includes an initial temporary cease—fire. washington is still pushing for an agreement between the two sides. cia director william burns met senior officials from mediators qatar and egypt and the qatari capital. earlier, ispoke qatar and egypt and the qatari capital. earlier, i spoke about the war and efforts was cease—fire with laura, a former senior policy adviser at the middle east state department. let's start with the cease—fire proposal. this is being pushed by the us, the white house. what you think is keeping. the steel from progressing? the way is throu . h steel from progressing? the way is through the — steel from progressing? the way is through the fall. _ steel from progressing? the way is through the fall. the _ steel from progressing? the way is through the fall. the word -
