Israeli soldiers bulldozed part of a cemetery in Gaza last summer that contains the graves of soldiers who fought for the allied forces during World War I and World War II, satellite imagery shows.

The Guardian reports that the Gaza war cemetery in al-Tuffah, a neighborhood east of Gaza City, was partially destroyed by Israeli soldiers in the midst of their genocidal campaign last summer, after Israel unilaterally broke the ceasefire agreement.

Satellite imagery shows Israeli forces bulldozed swaths of graves of WWII soldiers, largely Australians. Rows of WWI soldiers’ graves, most of them British, were also destroyed, as well as a plot for Canadian UN Peacekeepers and plots for an Indian UN memorial.
