The movement said Israel attempted to "obliterate evidence" through "removing, crushing and relocating the rubble", despite the presence of "bodies of thousands of missing people and material evidence of the crimes of genocide committed by the occupation over two years". "Tampering with these sites, with what they contain of bodies and evidences, constitutes a violation of international law and the International Court of Justice's ruling calling for the preservation of evidence, as well as an affront to the dignity of the martyrs and the right of their families to recover and bury the bodies of their loved ones," the statement read.  Hamas urged the UN, international courts and relevant authorities to "take urgent action to protect these sites" as well as deploying international investigation teams and forensic experts to oversee the recovery of bodies and the documentation and preservation of evidence.  "We emphasize that the swift removal of rubble and the reconstruction of Gaza are an urgent humanitarian and national necessity and an inalienable right of our people," it added.
