Cemeteries of numbers (مقابر الارقام, MakaberAlarqam), is a symbolic name for a large group of secret tombs established by Israel in order to bury the bodies of victims and prisoners that died in their prisons in them.

the Cemeteries of numbers existed a long time ago, and currently, large numbers of the bodies of Palestinian victims are held in them along with the bodies of deceased prisoners in Israeli prisons.

The file of detaining the bodies of martyrs is one of the evidence of the inhumane and unjustified actions of the occupation state. the cemeteries of numbers or the Cemeteries of the victims of the enemies as the occupation state calls them, we can define them as simple burials surrounded by stones without Tombstones and installed above each grave a metal plate bearing a certain number, and for this, it was called the Cemeteries of numbers because they take the numbers as an alternative to the names of the martyrs, and each number has a special file kept by the responsible security authority, and it includes information and data for each martyr, and some of the detained martyrs are not limited to their status In graves but also in special refrigerators that are placed there.

Founding
There are some parties that say that the establishment of these Cemeteries was with the establishment of the occupation state, but according to their confessions, which say that the period of the establishment of these Cemeteries was at the beginning of the 1967 war, and these institutions do not know their real number, whereabouts, the number of martyrs buried inside them and their identities, and so far only four of them are known, one of which appeared recently on television, when the Israeli authorities began bulldozing them to remove the bodies from them in preparation for handing them over to the other party under the exchange deal.

Naming
The Cemeteries of numbers are so named because each grave contains its own number that is not repeated with another, and each of these numbers indicates a specific victim, and his grave number is linked to a file about the buried person and his life with the Israeli authorities.

Known from these tombs
A few Cemeteries of numbers have been uncovered, including:


 * 1) The cemetery of numbers adjacent to the Banat Yacoub bridge is located in a military zone, at the junction of the Israeli-Syrian-Lebanese border, and contains nearly 500 graves of Palestinian and Lebanese martyrs, most of whom were killed in the 1982 war and beyond.
 * 2) The cemetery of numbers, located in the closed military zone between the city of Jericho and the Damia Bridge in the Jordan Valley, is surrounded by a wall and has an iron gate, over which hangs a large banner that reads in Hebrew: A cemetery for enemy victims, in which there are more than 100 graves, and these graves bear numbers from "5003-5107", and these numbers may be sequential for graves in other cemeteries, but the Israeli authorities claim that they are just administrative symbols that do not reflect the real number of bodies held in other cemeteries.
 * 3) The Rifidim cemetery is also located in the Jordan Valley.
 * 4) The cemetery of Shehita is located in the village of Wadi al-Hamam, north of the city of Tiberias, located between Mount Erbil and the Sea of Galilee. Most of the bodies are of martyrs in the Jordan Valley battles between 1965 and 1975. On the northern side of the cemetery, about 30 mausoleums are lined up in two long rows, with about 20 mausoleums scattered in the middle. There are about 349 bodies in these graves.

Conditions of detention of the bodies of martyrs
They are buried very little deeply and are placed in plastic bags, and the bodies can only be diagnosed with a medical examination, and it must also be known that some of these bodies are buried without photographing them or even issuing a burial order from the Israeli district officer, and some are buried without an iron card attached to it in which the martyr's name, number, and date of martyrdom are written, contrary to what is imposed by the written Israeli military instructions, and this negligence and inhumane treatment has led to difficulties in identifying the bodies of the Some of the martyrs when they were extracted after many years and that the occupation army resorted to recording the numbers of martyrs on the plastic bags in which the bodies are placed by a pen «Flomaster», which quickly erases its ink due to environmental factors in the soil. The iron signs bearing the martyr's number placed on his grave are not fixed enough and can be moved from their place by weather factors, and more seriously, when it was said that the bodies in the cemetery of the "Jacob's Daughters Bridge» " were buried directly in the soil without a layer of concrete to protect them from erosion, The rainwater has led to the drift of some graves, and to the overlap of the bones of the martyrs in more than one grave, and the cemeteries are considered according to the decision of the army closed military areas that are not allowed to enter except by a decision of the commander of the region.

cemeteries of numbers and organ trade
The Israeli occupation state on17-8-2009 launched a strong attack on the Swedish media, where the journalist Donald Batzrom Swedish wrote an article in the Swedish newspaper Al-Masaa confirming that the occupation state and its gangs are trafficking in the organs of the martyrs, and in the article, he singled out the United States of America, which is stealing the organs of the martyrs in the cemeteries of numbers, and the article came entitled «They loot the organs of our children»

In written international humanitarian law
The crime of cemeteries of numbers is one of the crimes registered in the register of the Israeli occupation state according to international law, international human rights law and international humanitarian law, where this act is considered a defective and immoral act represented by the detention of a dead person who falsely claims that he poses a danger to her by a blatant attack on the articles of the United Nations Universal Declaration on Enforced Disappearance, which considers these acts a crime against humanity, and a clear and flagrant attack on the Geneva Conventions, as the bodies of martyrs and missing persons have special protection guaranteed by those The conventions also guarantee the right of the dead and not only to the living person, as the occupying power has signed the four conventions.
