Forensic tests confirm torture on bodies of 54 Palestinians returned by Israel, says Gaza officials

The Government Media Office in Gaza has stated that 54 bodies of Palestinian bodies, previously held by Israeli forces, will be laid to rest after being returned bearing clear signs of torture.

According to the statement, the Israeli occupation handed over the bodies with visible evidence of abuse. Official forensic examinations confirmed that the deceased had been subjected to brutal violations while in Israeli custody.

Gaza authorities condemned these acts, describing them as "horrific crimes," and called on international organisations to pursue justice. The statement urged global institutions to hold those responsible for these "massacres" accountable under international law.
