Israel Blocks Turkish Rescue Mission from Entering Gaza

Israeli officials have reportedly denied entry to a Turkish delegation carrying rescue teams and heavy equipment intended for Gaza. According to sources cited by i24NEWS, Israel insists that Hamas already knows the locations of most of the fallen hostages’ bodies and can return them without external assistance. Officials said that in several cases, Hamas is aware of where the bodies are buried and could access them independently. Some recoveries, they noted, would require heavy machinery — equipment included in the blocked Turkish convoy. “There is no reason to allow the Turks into the Strip,” one Israeli source said. “Hamas can return the remains right now if it chooses to.”
