Israel is currently investigating evidence linked to the October 7 massacre by Palestinian terrorists. According to a media report, it could be one of the most important legal cases of the post-war period.
Using approximately 200,000 photos and videos and 2,000 witness statements, Israeli investigators are currently reconstructing the events with the intention of taking legal action against those responsible, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.
It is expected to be the most important trial since the 1961 trial of Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann in Israel, it was said. Terrorists from the Islamist Hamas and other extremist groups killed about 1,200 people in Israel on October 7 and abducted about 240 others to the Gaza Strip. It was the worst massacre in Israel’s history. Israel responded with massive air strikes and a ground offensive aimed at destroying the terrorist organization Hamas.
One of the victims of the massacre:
Some victims were burned alive
Forensic evidence provided to the newspaper by Israeli officials showed, among other things, that some victims were burned alive. Photos show mutilations of the victims’ bodies, including the genitals of men and women. The bodies of women and girls also showed various signs of sexual violence. Hamas denied that its fighters killed children and raped women, it said. The Wall Street Journal said it examined some of the evidence and also conducted interviews with first responders, survivors, victims’ families and forensic experts to document an attack that Israel’s police chief described as “systematic and unprecedented in its brutality ‘.
“The State of Israel has never before faced crimes and an investigation of this magnitude,” said Roi Sheindorf, a former deputy attorney general. According to the newspaper, it will probably be the most important trial since the trial against Austrian-born Eichmann. The SS Obersturmbannführer had millions of Jews deported to extermination camps during the Nazi era. The Eichmann trial, which began in 1961 and attracted worldwide attention, lasted eight months and ended with the death penalty. He was hanged.
So far, 800 murdered civilians have been identified
Israel has so far identified about 800 civilians killed on October 7, including 37 minors under the age of 17, six of whom were under the age of five, the newspaper reported. According to the head of the forensic center, computed tomography scans showed signs of torture and executions. The terrorists posted videos of killings and kidnappings on their victims’ social media pages for friends and family to view, the newspaper said.
