Bodies of Palestinians returned by Israel show signs of torture, execution and being run over by tanks, Middle East Eye has learned.

Israel handed over the unidentified remains of around 45 individuals to Gaza on Tuesday as part of its prisoner exchange agreement with Hamas.

A source at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, which received the bodies via the International Committee of the Red Cross, told MEE that some of the deceased were recently killed, while others arrived in a decomposed state or as partial remains.

Several bodies bore signs of severe abuse, including strangulation marks, broken bones and mutilation.

Some were found with their hands and feet bound and their eyes blindfolded. Others were missing limbs.

They’re terrorists, of course they would torture prisoners. Surprised there’s still a body and not just cremated as part of the final plan

They need to sow terror. A cremated body is, in a way, respected. Giving you a body that had been mutilated, shown signs of torture execution, etc? That’s a message.

But the Palestinians’ prisoners were malnourished!
