A disturbing discovery was made near Gaza’s border with Israel as the handcuffed, naked, and dismembered bodies of three Palestinian men, recently released by Israel, were found. According to witnesses, the men were attacked by Israeli forces shortly after their release.
Abdel Hadi Ghabayen, the uncle of one of the detainees, Kamel Ghabayen, searched for his nephew early in the morning after he was taken by Israeli forces the previous day. His nephew, along with two others, was found without clothes and with plastic cuffs on their hands near the Israeli border fence.
Despite the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) denying involvement, Ghabayen described the horrific scene of one man’s dismembered body after the attack. The three men, including Kamel Ghabayen, Mohammed Awad Ramadan Abu Hejazi, and Ramadan Awad Ramadan Abu Hejazi, were shot shortly after being released from detention.
This tragic incident adds to the already devastating toll of Palestinians killed during Israel’s military operations. More than 38,000 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, have lost their lives since October 7 in response to Hamas’ actions in southern Israel.
