Euro-Med Monitor investigations have uncovered horrific details not posted about by the Israeli “HaMakom” website.

These details suggest that the two victims were used as human shields and that their execution was carried out by the detonatation of explosives that were still attached to the wife, if not both members of the couple, rather than by gunfire.

Following the incident, the son of the two victims, Ahmed Mohammed Fahmy Abu Hussein (38), told the Euro-Med Monitor field team that pieces of his parents’ bodies were taken from Salah al-Din Road, in the east of Gaza.

Mazyona Hassan Fares Abu Hussein’s body was reduced to nearly nothing, with an earring serving as her only identifying feature. Meanwhile, Mohammed Fahmy Abu Hussein’s right leg was completely missing, and his the right side of his body was totally disfigured, indicating that at least one member of the couple was killed by detonating explosives rather than by gunfire.

Ahmed Abu Hussein went on to say: “My father’s right leg was amputated, and the right side of his body was completely gone. It was hard to identify him other than by certain features, like a tattoo on his hand. My mother’s body was utterly destroyed; we could only make out a few pieces of her face and [were only able to] identify her by the gold-covered teeth on her jaw.”
