Hamas says another captive’s body located
Hamas’s armed wing says it has located the body of one more captive, which it said will be delivered to Israel today if conditions on the ground are appropriate.
The group said any Israeli “escalation” would hinder search operations, shortly after Israel launched air attacks and artillery fire at targets in southern and central Gaza.
Hamas says it needs DNA testing device to identify bodies returned by Israel
Some of the bodies of the 150 Palestinians returned by Israel show signs of torture, which constitutes “a war crime against humanity”, a statement by the group says.
It said on Telegram: “Some of them were handcuffed and blindfolded, while others bore signs of being strangled or crushed under the occupation’s chains, confirming that the occupation executed them while they were prisoners.”
The group stressed that the identities of most of the bodies have not yet been determined, demanding a DNA testing device to identify them. Hamas also said it needed “heavy equipment to remove the rubble under which thousands of bodies remain buried”.
“What happened constitutes a full-fledged war crime and a crime against humanity that requires international accountability and responsibility.”
The Gaza Health Ministry said earlier that the bodies of 25 Palestinians have been identified out of the 150 released by Israel so far, with some showing signs of “torture” and “beatings”.
Israeli politician seeks investigation into Palestinian bodies showing signs of torture
Ofer Cassif, a left-wing member of the Israeli parliament, has written to the attorney general following reports that Palestinian bodies released by Israel as part of the ceasefire deal showed signs of abuse and torture, calling on authorities to investigate the allegations.
In the letter, Cassif said it appeared that Israel was following a “vindictive policy” and had a duty to investigate the reports, according to its obligations under international law, and called for the Red Cross to oversee it.
