Israel has returned the bodies of dozens more unidentified Palestinians to Gaza for burial in a mass grave in Deir el-Balah, with some badly mutilated and bearing marks of torture and execution.

The Gaza Health Ministry reported on Wednesday that Israel transferred 30 more Palestinian bodies, raising the total returned under the ceasefire agreement to 195.

Under the United States-brokered deal, Israel agreed to return the bodies of 15 Palestinians for each deceased Israeli captive that is returned.

On Wednesday, Israel’s military confirmed it had identified the remains of two more captives recovered from Gaza: Aryeh Zalmanovich and Master Sergeant Tamir Adar.

Hamas has returned the remains of 15 captives since October 10, of the 28 promised under the ceasefire terms.
