The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that Israel has returned the bodies of 88 Palestinians it killed in an attack on the Gaza Strip yesterday in a container. The ministry, which requested information on the identities of the bodies sent from the Israeli-controlled area and where they were killed, stated that burials will not be carried out until this information is disclosed.
“They must act in accordance with international humanitarian law and in a way that protects the honor of the martyrs and their families,” said Ismail Al-Thawabta, the spokesman for the government in the Gaza Strip.
“We reiterate that all families have the right to hear from their loved ones and to bury them respectfully and in accordance with their traditions,” the International Committee of the Red Cross said.
