The Palestinian Prisoners Club (PPC) has condemned the reported summary execution of four Palestinian prisoners by Israeli forces near the Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing in southern Gaza. The bodies of three Palestinians were found with their hands tied, suggesting a field execution. These individuals were reportedly aid workers who had been detained by the Israeli military for several days and subsequently released before being targeted and killed. Red Crescent paramedics recovered the handcuffed bodies east of Rafah City. Video footage published by Palestinian journalist Hassan Aslih corroborates these reports, showing the bodies of the victims with their hands bound. The incident has drawn significant criticism and highlights ongoing tensions in the region.
