CAIRO, Sept 25 (Reuters) - Israel returned the bodies on Wednesday of 88 Palestinians killed in its military offensive in the Gaza Strip, which the territory's health ministry refused to bury before Israel discloses details about who they are and where it killed them.

The Israeli military returned the Palestinians’ bodies with no identification or information about their deaths.

GAZA, September 27, 2024 (WAFA) – Nine Palestinians were killed Friday evening in Israeli army bombardment across the war-torn Gaza Strip, according to local sources and paramedics. They said that Israeli artillery shelled a house belonging to the Awad family in al-Fakhari town, east of Khan Younes in the southern Strip, killing two children.

Since war began in Gaza on October 7, Israel's military campaign has received rolling coverage on domestic television, with just one notable aspect missing -- the Palestinians living, and dying, under the bombs.

A truck carrying 88 unidentified bodies of Palestinians killed in Israel’s military offensive in Gaza arrived in Khan Younis on Wednesday. But the Palestinian Ministry of Health has put a pause on its procedure to receive bodies with no information from Israel on their identities or how they were killed.
