Israeli forces have abducted more than 2,000 bodies exhumed from various cemeteries across the Gaza strip, with reports from the Gaza government media office saying some corpses have been returned after Israeli forces "desecrated the bodies" of the deceased, Press TV reports.
Gaza’s Government Media Office in a statement on Monday said that Israel has stolen 2,000 Palestinian bodies since the beginning of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza on October 7 and returned some in an inhumane manner.
“Over the course of 304 days of the genocide, the occupation has kidnapped more than 2,000 bodies of martyrs from dozens of cemeteries in the governorates of the Gaza Strip, which the occupation bulldozed with bulldozers and military vehicles and turned their graves over, in a scene that violates humanity and human feelings,” the statement reads.
It added that “the Israeli occupation army desecrates the dignity of the bodies of 89 martyrs, handing them over as skeletons and decomposed corpses.”
Meanwhile, director of the Palestinian Civil Emergency Service in Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, Yamen Abu Suleiman, said on Monday they had "received 80 bodies inside 15 bags, with more than four martyrs in each bag, each wrapped in a single shroud.”
Abu Suleiman added that Israeli forces did not provide any information about the bodies, including their names or where they were found or taken from, which he said is “a war crime, a crime against humanity.”
