There are still numerous victims of the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack in Israel who have not yet been identified. As has become known, archaeologists are now finally helping family members gain certainty.
Scientists have already discovered the remains of at least 10 people killed in the massacre who were previously considered missing, the Israel Antiquities Authority announced on Tuesday. To do this, the researchers combed through the ashes of burned houses and examined the contents of charred cars. According to information, they have been working with the army for two weeks in the affected areas near the Gaza Strip.

The researchers had practices and knowledge to detect traces of human remains at burned and destroyed ancient sites, the antiquities authority statement said. “It is one thing to uncover the two-thousand-year legacy of destruction, and quite another – heartbreaking and unimaginable – to carry out the task at hand.”
“Continue until the last burned house has been analyzed.”
“We will continue until we have analyzed the last house that burned down and found everyone that is still to be found,” promises an archaeologist involved on the antiquities authority’s YouTube channel (see also video above).
At dawn on October 7, the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, Hamas launched an unprecedented major attack on Israel, firing thousands of rockets from the Gaza Strip. At the same time, hundreds of heavily armed fighters entered Israel by land, air and sea and killed more than 1,400 people in the most brutal manner – most of them civilians, including many women, children and the elderly. According to Israeli reports, more than 240 Israelis and foreigners are being kidnapped as hostages in the Gaza Strip.
