returned from "Israel" were found blindfolded, with
their hands and feet bound, Gaza\u2019s forensic department
spokesperson revealed.</p>
<p>These, he said, are compelling evidence that the
Palestinian detainees were brutally tortured before
being executed.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>\u2018Israel\u2019 hands over 30 Palestinian bodies under Gaza
ceasefire deal</h2>
<p>The findings came after "Israel" handed over to Gaza
authorities the bodies of <a

moz-do-not-send="true">30 Palestinian martyrs who
had been held in</a> its prisons, as part of the
ongoing ceasefire exchange deal, the Palestinian news
agency <em>Safa </em>reported on Friday.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>135 mutilated bodies</h2>
<p><em>The Guardian</em><span> </span>reported last week
that the Israeli entity had handed over to Gaza at

Palestinians</a><span> </span>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

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