* **Gaza Officials: Mutilated Palestinian Bodies Held in Israeli Jail Spark Controversy**
According to Gaza health officials, over 135 mutilated bodies of Palestinians returned by Israel originated from the Sde Teiman detention center, a site already under scrutiny for alleged torture and unlawful deaths. Documentation found with the bodies, including Hebrew tags, indicated they were held at Sde Teiman, with some having undergone DNA testing. Examinations of the bodies revealed signs of executions and systematic torture, including gunshot wounds and injuries from tank tracks. Human rights activists are demanding an investigation into the deaths, as evidence suggests the victims may have been tortured before being killed.
