This is the best summary I could come up with:
They’re looking for human remains, hoping to identify victims still missing a month on from the deadly Hamas attack.
Be’eri is one of the communities hardest hit by the Hamas gunmen who burst through the Israel-Gaza border on Oct. 7, killing around 1,400 people and taking more than 240 hostage, according to Israeli tallies.
Twisted, mangled cars still line the paths of the kibbutz, some houses stand gutted by fire, others are pierced by bullets.
In Be’eri, like in the neighbouring villages Kfar Aza and Nir Oz, the gunmen shot at families taking refuge in their safe rooms and set houses alight.
Rescue teams found burnt bodies in various locations, but with numerous people missing, the Israeli military two weeks ago called in archaeologists from the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) to assist with the meticulous, delicate search.
“We went into the burnt houses,” said archaeologist Joe Uziel, “searching for even the most minute evidence that could help us identify individuals that were missing, be it personal belongings such as jewellery and such or the remains of bones which had been fractured by the heat.”
