Doctors at Gaza’s Nasser hospital say many of the 90 Palestinian bodies returned by Israel under a US-brokered truce bore signs of abuse and execution—blindfolds, bound hands, gunshots to the head—and arrived numbered, not named. With DNA testing unavailable, relatives are being asked to help identify the dead. ICRC handled the transfers as ICC probes alleged war crimes by both sides, including a March case of 15 bound paramedics. The exchange has strained ceasefire: Israel slowed aid over delays returning 28 hostages’ bodies; Hamas says it has handed over all remains it can reach, with two more delivered.
