\n\t\t\t\t\u201cWe are indeed in possession of those bodies \u2026 All were killed or died inside Israeli territory, not in the Gaza Strip,\u201d Israel\u2019s military spokesman Jonathan Conricus told AFP on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n\t\t\tAt least twelve Palestinian men lost their lives\u00a0after Israel blew up the tunnel on October 30.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tTwo of them belonged to the Ezzedeen al-Qassam Brigades, the\u00a0military wing of Hamas resistance movement, while the rest were from al-Quds Brigades, which is the military wing of Islamic Jihad movement.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tFollowing the attack, Palestinians gathered in front of al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Khan Yunis in protest at Israel\u2019s act of aggression.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe tunnel, which was still under construction, reportedly belonged to Hamas and infiltrated\u00a0into the heart of occupied Palestinian territories.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMeanwhile, the Israeli\u00a0minister\u00a0of military affairs\u00a0Avigdor Lieberman\u00a0has stated that the decision on what to do with the bodies would be taken by Israel’s security cabinet, on which he sits.<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t\t\t\t\u201cThis is not a legal issue, this is a political and security issue, and if there is disagreement it will be resolved in the security cabinet and not in any other forum,\u201d he said on Israeli television on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n\t\t\tIsraeli media outlets says the Gaza resistance fighters\u2019 bodies would most likely be retained as bargaining chips to retrieve the remains of two Israeli soldiers killed in the 2014 Gaza war.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIsraeli officials claim that three settlers, who are all said to be mentally unstable, are also believed to have entered the Gaza Strip, and are being held by Hamas.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tTunnels are the only lifeline for Palestinians living under the Israeli siege and Egypt has so far destroyed hundreds of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIsrael and the Egyptian military have launched a campaign to destroy the tunnels, preventing the people in Gaza from bringing most of their basic goods like construction materials, food, and fuel into the coastal enclave.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Gaza Strip has been under an Israeli siege since June 2007. The blockade has caused a decline in the standards of living as well as unprecedented levels of unemployment and unrelenting poverty.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Israeli regime denies about 1.8 million people in Gaza their basic rights, such as freedom of movement, jobs with proper wages\u00a0as well as adequate healthcare and education.<\/p>\n
