This week, human remains were discovered in orchards near Kibbutz Nirim in the Gaza border area. Forensic identification teams from the police and the Institute of Forensic Medicine examined the remains and completely ruled out the possibility that they belonged to Israelis, as reported by Shai Levy in Mako.
From the investigation, it appears that these are terrorists who were eliminated within the kibbutz; their bodies were removed but not collected. The estimate is that in the surrounding area there are still remnants of bodies and weapons that have not yet been discovered.
The news of the discovery of the remains sparked a wave of rumors about the finding of kidnapped bodies, rumors that are completely untrue.
Already on the ground, the teams identified remnants of uniforms and equipment that led to the conclusion that these were the bodies of terrorists, an assessment that was ultimately confirmed after pathological and laboratory examinations.
About three months ago, the remains of terrorists were found in the Sderot area. It is estimated in Israel that there are more bodies in the area and weapons from the day of the massacre that have not yet been discovered.
