Pictures - broadcasted by activists on the Internet - showed an Israeli tank today torturing the body of a Palestinian youth who was shot dead by the occupation forces at the separation fence this morning in the Khan Yunis area in the southern Gaza Strip. The Palestinian resistance factions and the Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned the crime, describing it as brutality and brutality.
A video from Gaza spread showing a bulldozer approaching the body of the young man at the separation fence opposite Abasan, east of Khan Yunis, at a time when unarmed Palestinian youths were trying to retrieve it, and gunfire was heard that prompted others to move away, which allowed the bulldozer to recover the body, and a tank was seen next to this bulldozer.
A video clip - taken by a photographer in Gaza and posted on networking sites - showed what appeared to be the dead body of the martyr, hanging from the bulldozer's arm in a hideous image.
Witnesses and health officials said that two other Palestinians were wounded by Israeli fire, targeting a group of people who approached the area in an attempt to recover the body. The two injured people were taken to the European Hospital for treatment.
Secret Jerusalem
The Al-Quds Brigades (the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement) announced that the martyr Muhammad Ali al-Na'im (27 years old) is one of its members, while the occupation army said that his forces killed a Palestinian who tried to plant explosives near the separation fence on the border with the Strip today.
The occupation follows a policy of holding the bodies of martyrs from Gaza for use in exchanges of prisoners and dead bodies with the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).

Hamas and Jihad movements condemned the deliberate occupation of killing an unarmed young man on the borders of the Strip and abusing his body, describing it as a hideous crime that is added to the Tel Aviv crime record against the Palestinian people.
Fawzi Barhoum, a Hamas spokesman, said that the Israeli violations would not make the Palestinian people acquiesce, but would increase it strength and hold on to their land and rights. Musab al-Braim, a spokesman for the jihad, said that the occupation would pay the price of its crimes against the Palestinian people.
Hatred and racism
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry described the body of the martyr as a "barbaric and brutal act that embodies the spread of hatred and racism in the Israeli military establishment".
The Ministry indicated that some of the leaders and supporters of the Israeli far-right participated in the shots of abuse of the martyr through their accounts on the networking sites, including Matan Khana, a member of the Knesset (Israeli Parliament) on the New Right party.
