Families of 10 killed terrorists request IDF hand over bodies
The bodies of ten terrorists who have been killed have requested that their bodies be turned over by the IDF, so that they may give them a proper buiral; After discussing the matter, the High Court of Justice decided to act for the release of seven of the bodies, with the last three still unsure due to the heinousness of their crimes and their links to Hamas terrorist group.
The families of ten deceased terrorists from the Judea and Samaria region in the West Bank have petitioned the High Court of Justice (HCJ), asking that the IDF release the terrorists' bodies and return them to their families, so that they could be buried.
The HCJ has three different petitions regarding all ten terrorist bodies pending. The Security Cabinet discussed the matter during a meeting on Thursday. As present, it has been agreed upon that seven bodies will be returned to the families for burial, as long as their burials will not become a public display of incitement and support of terrorism.
A decision has yet to be made regarding the remaining three bodies, as the these terrorists were affiliated with the Hamas terrorist group, and in one case due to the extreme cruelty in which the act was carried out. This was the case of 17-year-old Mohammed Traireh, who stabbed to death 13-year-old Hallel Ariel while she slept last June. Traireh's family's house, it should be noted, was demolished in reactio to his murder of Yaffa.
The state requests 60 days to look into the last three cases before reaching a decision.
