On October 7, 2023, Israeli forces retrieved the body of Ran Gvili from a Palestinian graveyard in Gaza, a move celebrated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu but condemned for causing fear and death among Palestinians, including the killing of four individuals. The operation, which violated international law by desecrating graves, showcases a pattern of collective punishment against Palestinians, with reports of multiple cemeteries being attacked. The Israeli government has also withheld bodies of deceased Palestinians, further denying families closure. Despite the gravity of these actions, they have received far less media attention compared to the treatment of Israeli casualties.
