Israel is holding 463 bodies (not including the bodies of martyrs around Gaza after the war), including 18 prisoners and 6 women. Israel is holding 25 children that it has been holding in its refrigerators and cemeteries for many years, a third of them only since the outbreak of the Al-Aqsa Flood Battle.

Israel refuses to hand them over to their families, as part of a policy of abuse against the Palestinians that Israel has pursued since its occupation of the West Bank in 1967. By detaining bodies, especially in Jerusalem, the occupation aims to prevent gatherings and demonstrations.
