Israeli authorities returned on Friday the bodies of four Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in the past weeks in the occupied West Bank. But Israel still holds the bodies of nine more Palestinians and claims such policy would deter other Palestinians from carrying out any form of attacks in the future. The families of the slain Palestinians meanwhile say their beloved ones deserve the right to be buried in an appropriate manner.
