detainees handed over by the Israeli occupation were tortured and executed.

    Bodies of unidentified Palestinians returned from "Israel" as part
    of the ceasefire deal are placed at a warehouse in Nasser Hospital
    in Khan Younis, Gaza Strip, Friday, Oct. 31, 2025 (/AP/)

Most of the bodies of Palestinian martyrs 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--returns-30-palestinian-bodies--some-bear-marks-of-t> 
returned from "Israel" were found blindfolded, with their hands and feet 
bound, Gaza’s forensic department spokesperson revealed.

These, he said, are compelling evidence that the Palestinian detainees 
were brutally tortured before being executed.

He urged all international organizations to urgently enter the Gaza 
Strip to document these violations by Israeli occupation forces and 
ensure accountability for crimes committed against Palestinians.


    ‘Israel’ hands over 30 Palestinian bodies under Gaza ceasefire deal

The findings came after "Israel" handed over to Gaza authorities the 
bodies of 30 Palestinian martyrs who had been held in 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--hands-over-30-palestinian-bodies-under-gaza-ceasefi> 
its prisons, as part of the ongoing ceasefire exchange deal, the 
Palestinian news agency /Safa /reported on Friday.

The bodies were transferred to Nasser Hospital in the southern Gaza city 
of Khan Younis. This is reportedly the fifth handover of bodies, which 
brings the total count up to 225. Many bodies are said to bear traces of 
torture and execution, such as burns, bound hands, and eyes.


    135 mutilated bodies

/The Guardian/reported last week that the Israeli entity had handed over 
to Gaza at least135 mutilated bodies of Palestinians 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/at-least-90-martyrs-from-israeli-strikes-on-gaza-since-dawn>who 
were held at the notorious Israeli Sde Teiman military base. The 
facility is believed to be the site of summary executions, torture, and 
sexual abuse. The daily reported that photos of Sde Teiman detainees in 
its possession showed people blindfolded and handcuffed.

It is worth noting that the ceasefire agreement between the Israeli 
occupation and the Palestinian movement Hamas took effect on October 10. 
On October 13, US President Donald Trump, Egyptian President Abdel 
Fattah el-Sisi, Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Turkish 
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed a declaration on the Gaza ceasefire.

Hamas released all 20 of the surviving captives who had been held in the 
Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023. In exchange, the Israeli occupation 
released 1,718 Palestinian detainees from Gaza and 250 others serving 
long prison sentences.


    Israeli violations hinder recoveries, deliveries

The al-Qassam Brigades previouslywithheld the handover of the two bodies

response to Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement, citing heavy 
aerial bombardments on Gaza despite intensive efforts to recover the 
remains. The process required Egyptian equipment and machinery, albeit 
limited, to enter Gaza to assist with the retrieval.

The Brigades emphasized that ongoing Israeli military escalations and 
violations in Gaza are severely hindering search, excavation, and 
recovery efforts.

"Any Israeli escalation will delay the recovery 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/fact-check--gaza-media-office-refutes-iof-lies-to-justify-ma>of 
more bodies," the statement warned, stressing that the occupation's 
actions are obstructing progress in locating and identifying the remains 
of its deceased.
