Australian Senator David Pocock said the bodies of soldiers buried in a Gaza cemetery have "very likely" been disturbed by Israeli bulldozing, with about 146 of 263 Australian graves damaged according to a government official who acknowledged it was "quite possible" remains were affected. The damage primarily occurred in April and May of last year in the southern section housing World War II graves, prompting Australian families and officials to call for the Israeli government to restore the cemetery and prevent further destruction.
