Al-Abari: Closure orders to be imposed in Gaza areas believed to contain bodies of hostages

(Israel’s Channel 12) reported that a so-called ‘closure order’ will be imposed in some areas of the Gaza Strip believed to contain the bodies of Israeli captives, banning any digging, road paving, construction or reconstruction there to avoid the loss or disturbance of the remains or the concealment of their locations.

The channel said the implementation of this measure will be subject to the supervision of the joint mechanism established by Israel, Qatar, Egypt and the United States.

According to Israeli estimates, a large number of the captives’ bodies will be returned by next Monday.

The channel added that the aim of the measures is to facilitate locating the bodies and to preserve their sites until they can be recovered.

It noted that Israel and Hamas understand that returning all the captives’ bodies at once is not possible because of the need to precisely locate them within the Strip.
