On 14 October, Israel's military forensic teams attested that there were indications of torture and multiple rapes among the deceased.

In addition, one reserve warrant officer among them attested that the forensic teams had "seen dismembered bodies with their arms and feet chopped off, people that were beheaded, [and] a child that was beheaded".

a reserve warrant officer identified only by her first name of Avigayil told reporters.

The military personnel overseeing the identification process didn't present any forensic evidence in the form of pictures or medical records.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Around 1,300 bodies have been brought to an army base in Ramla in central Israel where forensic checks to determine the identity of the dead and the circumstances of their death are carried out by specialist teams.

The military personnel overseeing the identification process didn't present any forensic evidence in the form of pictures or medical records.

Hundreds of Hamas gunmen, some on motorcycles, broke through barriers around Gaza in the early hours of Oct. 7 and tore through nearby communities, attacking a large outdoor dance party as well homes and military bases and abducting more than 120 Israelis and foreigners.

The brutal assault caused profound shock in Israel due to both the unprecedented number of dead from a single day as well as the horrifying footage that has emerged from the towns and kibbutzes that were overrun.

In response, Israeli jets and artillery have bombarded the Gaza Strip for days, killing more than 2,200 Palestinians and destroying thousands of buildings ahead of an expected ground invasion.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has compared Hamas to Islamic State, which gained worldwide notoriety for its campaign of public beheadings in countries like Syria and Iraq.
