Martyr Fathi Khazem among 799 known martyrs
The article reveals that the issue of detaining the bodies of Palestinian martyrs by the Israeli occupation remains one of the most prominent forms of ongoing violations and repression that have persisted for decades. Evidence indicates that approximately 799 martyrs, including children and women, are held in “cemeteries of numbers” and under illegal conditions. The policy of holding the bodies of about 1,700 martyrs, according to Israeli media, continues to be enforced. This policy causes suffering for the families of the martyrs and hampers the farewell and burial processes, depriving families of the right to bid farewell according to their beliefs. Often, this is carried out under strict conditions, including nighttime funerals and security restrictions. Such practices are associated with violations of the dignity of the dead and serve as a means of control and humiliation. Additionally, the detention raises suspicions of organ theft and the clandestine burial of bodies away from their families. Palestinian organizations and the international community have called for the disclosure of the whereabouts of all missing persons and bodies, the launch of independent investigations to guarantee the rights of the families, and an end to the detention policy, which is among the most heinous forms of punishment and ongoing aggression against Palestinians.
