Gaza’s Government Media Office has confirmed that the bodies of 120 Palestinians held in Israeli detention have been returned to the enclave so far as part of the ceasefire agreement.
The bodies – dozens of which have yet to be formally identified – showed “conclusive evidence of field executions and brutal torture”, the office said.
It said the bodies showed signs of:
- Hanging and rope marks on the necks of several bodies
- Direct gunfire at close range, “confirming deliberate field executions”
- Hands and feet being bound with plastic restraints
- Eyes being blindfolded
- Being crushed under Israeli tank tracks
- Fractures, burns and deep wounds, indicating “severe physical torture”
“We call for the urgent establishment of an independent international commission of inquiry to investigate these heinous crimes and to hold Israeli leaders accountable for the war crimes committed against our people in the Gaza Strip,” the Government Media Office said.
