[IsraelTimes] Hamas says 54 bodies and 66 other boxes of human remains taken by Red Cross to Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital for identification; Israel does not comment

Israel returned the bodies of of 54 slain Paleostinians and 66 other boxes of human remains to Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

-run health ministry said.

Medical staff will work to identify the bodies and remains, and to return them to their families, the ministry said.

Israel did not comment on the reported transfer of the remains.

According to a Sunday court filing by the Jerusalem Legal Aid and Human Rights Center, a Paleostinian group that has petitioned the High Court for the release of Paleostinians’ bodies, Israel holds the bodies of over 700 Paleostinians.

The legal group said that the bodies come from both Gaza and the West Bank, and they include hundreds of unidentified people killed by Israel in the Strip during the war since the Hamas onslaught of October 7, 2023.

Last week, in accordance with the October 9 Gaza ceasefire-hostage deal, Israel handed over the bodies of 15 Gazooks, following the retrieval of the body of Police Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, the last Israeli hostage in Gaza.

Before Wednesday, Israel had only handed over the remains of Paleostinians it was holding during the current ceasefire in exchange for slain hostages, at a ratio of 15:1.

According to reports in Paleostinian media, Israel has returned the remains of 360 Gazooks to the Strip since the ceasefire took effect in October.

Of the 360 bodies and remains returned, medical authorities have only confirmed the identities of some 100 Paleostinians, according to Gaza health ministry data, with the rest buried as unidentified.

According to the health ministry, the corpse count from the war in the Gaza Strip is over 71,800, including more than 500 people killed during the current ceasefire.

While Israel has largely rejected corpse counts claimed by Hamas’s health ministry during the war, a senior Israeli military official acknowledged to news hounds last week that the IDF believes the Hamas toll has been largely accurate, estimating that around 70,000 Gazooks have been killed.

According to the military official, the toll does not include bodies believed to be buried under the rubble in Gaza, which Hamas estimates at around 10,000.

The bigwig said the actual breakdown of the Gaza corpse count is still under review, and it is unknown exactly how many of the dead are members of terror groups and how many people died directly as a result of the fighting.
