An investigation by the Hebrew website "Siha Mekumit" stated that the Israeli army was aware that detonating regular bombs inside the tunnels might lead to the release of toxic gases. Maayan Sherman, the mother of Ron, the soldier who was captured by the resistance, and whose body was recovered in mid-December, claimed that the army had deliberately killed him.
She recalled that “there were no fractures or wounds on the body resulting from bullets, nor even the hardened effects of punches”
