Hamas-run health ministry says Israel handed over bodies of Palestinians killed in Gaza

Israel handed over to authorities in Gaza the bodies of dozens of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in the Strip in recent weeks, Hamas health officials say.

The bodies, which had been held in Israel, have been handed over through the Kerem Shalom crossing and will be buried in mass graves in the city of Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip, the officials say.

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza does not immediately say how many bodies have been handed over.

Israel does not immediately comment on the handover.
