According to Israel’s health ministry, they had been shot at close range about two days before their remains were discovered.The new instructions, Obeida said, were given to guards of hostages after a rescue operation by Israel in June. At that time, Israeli forces freed four hostages in a raid in which scores of Palestinians, including women and children, were killed.
Protests against the Israeli leader’s government suffered a blow yesterday when a court ordered an early end to a general strike called by Israel’s biggest trade union, Histadrut, which said hundreds of thousands of people joined its strike.
