IDF holding bodies of Palestinian terrorists killed in tunnel blast

The IDF has recovered the bodies of five Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists who were killed in the army’s demolition of a Gaza attack tunnel last week, the army says.

The terrorists, who were working in the tunnel at the time of the strike, were buried in the rubble under a cleared military zone between the Gaza Strip and Israeli territory.

In the days after the attack, the Hamas terrorist group asked the Red Cross to request that Israel allow it to search for the bodies, but this was denied.
