''The IDF is still holding two containers filled with some 350 bags of unidentified human remains salvaged from southern Israel after the Hamas onslaught of October 7, 2023, Hebrew media reported Friday.''
''Some of the remains were severely charred and damaged beyond recognition. However, according to Ynet, at least 200 of the bags at Shura contain some remains that the rabbinate believes it could identify if it had greater resources.''
''Each bag is believed to hold the remains of a single person. Yet, in the chaos and trauma that followed the massacre, mistakes were inevitable. Some bodies were mistakenly grouped together; some fragments may even belong to the Hamas terrorists themselves, their remains mixed with their victims’.
Military Chief Rabbi Brig. Gen. Eyal Krim has pleaded for permission to carry out further forensic testing, convinced that at least 200 of the bags could still yield identifications with more time and resources. The cost is significant, and so is the anguish — each double sample and DNA test costs thousands of shekels, and each day that passes prolongs the agony of not knowing.''
