An autopsy conducted on the six hostages found dead in Gaza by Israel has determined that they were killed by short-range shots, as confirmed by a spokesperson for Israel’s health ministry on Sunday.
The examination conducted on Sunday morning estimated that the deaths occurred approximately 48 to 72 hours prior to the autopsy. This suggests that the hostages likely perished between Thursday and Friday morning, according to the ministry spokesperson.
Israel’s military has pointed fingers at Hamas for the killings. The Israel Defense Forces reported that the bodies of the hostages were discovered in an underground tunnel in Rafah on Saturday and were subsequently brought back to Israeli territory.
This tragic incident has raised concerns and sparked outrage, with many calling for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths of the hostages. The findings of the autopsy shed light on the brutal nature of the killings and have intensified tensions in the region.
As the investigation continues, authorities are working diligently to uncover the truth behind this heinous act. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, urging for justice to be served and for those responsible to be held accountable.
