The Israeli occupation forces on Monday informed the Palestinian Liaison in the besieged Gaza Strip about the names of three young men killed by the Israeli army last night near Gaza’s southeastern borders.
Maher Abu al-Ouf from the Palestinian Crossings and Borders Authority said that the Israeli authorities revealed the identities of the three Palestinians killed by the Israeli army east of Khan Younis and Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
The three casualties are: Atiya Mohammed al-Amawi Yusuf Ahmed al-Amawi both in their twenties and from Khan Younis along with 16-year-old minor Yusuf Jasser Abu Jazar from Rafah.
Abu al-Ouf added that the occupation authorities handed over three other young men arrested by the Israeli military east of Rafah while they were with slain Abu Jazar.
The Israeli authorities also announced their decision to withhold the bodies of the three slain Palestinians until further notice.
Overnight the Israeli army claimed responsibility for the murder of three Palestinians and the abduction of three others allegedly for attempting to infiltrate the Gaza Strip into Palestinian territories occupied in 1948.
