CNN reported on October 15th, 2025, that 45 bodies of Palestinians returned by Israel to Gaza arrived with their hands and legs cuffed, showing signs of gunshot wounds and being run over by tanks. Nasser Hospital officials in Khan Younis stated the bodies were transferred tagged with numbers and have yet to be identified. This development comes as Israel accuses Hamas of violating deal terms regarding the return of bodies, according to a CNN report citing Drop Site. Nasser Hospital's forensic department told CNN on Tuesday that the 45 deceased Palestinians transferred from Israel have not been identified. The bodies were reportedly blindfolded, with some exhibiting signs of gunshot wounds or having been run over by tanks. Drop Site's post, linked by CNN, details alleged Israeli violations of a deal while falsely accusing Hamas, according to the report. Meanwhile, a post on X by user imshin shared on October 13th, 2025, depicted a "1st day in Gaza without war" with Gazan youth visiting al-Danaf Hyper Mall in Nuseirat, Central Gaza Strip, and observing new products. The user described Gaza as the "fastest developing country in the world" under the hashtag #TheGazaYouDontSee. Previous reports from October 15th, 2025, confirmed that Israel stated the fourth body handed over by Hamas overnight was not an Israeli hostage but identified as a Palestinian resident of Jericho. Senior Israeli officials indicated that negotiations had not advanced to Stage B, emphasizing the need to complete Step A, the return of all bodies. Turkey had also dispatched 81 search and rescue personnel to Gaza to assist in locating bodies, with the Rafah Crossing remaining closed. Israeli forces had also arrested 15 Palestinians in Nassar, northeast of Rafah, and reported two fatalities in Shuja'iyyeh, Gaza City, during an IDF assault between 10:06 AM and 11:06 AM UTC on October 15th, 2025.
