Torture, rape, murder, and a host of other physical atrocities. These are just some of the gruesome details revealed by military forensic teams mobilised by Israel in the wake of last week’s Hamas terrorist attack on the Jewish state.
Reuters reports around 1,300 bodies have been brought to an army base in Ramla and stored in refrigerated containers where specialized teams are examining the remains.
A reserve warrant officer known by her first name, Avigayil, recounted finding maimed bodies, per Reuters. Multiple cases of rape were also discovered during forensic examinations.
“We’ve seen dismembered bodies with their arms and feet chopped off, people that were beheaded, a child that was beheaded,” Avigayil told reporters.
