The Israeli occupation forces handed over the bodies of 15 Palestinian martyrs today as part of a prisoner exchange deal with the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas.
Sources in the Gaza Strip’s Ministry of Health stated that the bodies of the 15 martyrs arrived at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, via the International Committee of the Red Cross, bringing the total number of bodies received from the Israeli occupation to 330.
Hamas had handed over the body of an Israeli prisoner yesterday after it was found in Khan Younis.
In the same context, sources in the Ministry of Health reported that a specialized medical committee decided to bury 27 martyrs whose bodies had been held by the occupation forces after they could not be identified.
Official reports from the Ministry of Health and Forensic Medicine in Gaza indicated that most of the bodies handed over by the occupation army showed signs of torture, burning, and execution. Most had their hands bound and were blindfolded, and their features were unrecognizable due to the severity of the torture, preventing families from identifying most of them. Some of these bodies were buried in a mass grave.
