Jan Betlach wrote that Chen Kugel, head of the Israeli National Center of Forensic Medicine, described previously unpublished findings from the autopsies of the victims of the October 7 attack after nearly three years. According to Betlach's contribution, the center's workers found intentionally mutilated bodies, tied and executed individuals, and decapitated victims, including children. Soot in the airways of some victims, according to Kugel, indicated that they were burned alive. Kugel stated, according to Betlach, that the attackers first shot a girl around twelve years old in the head and then decapitated her. He also mentioned foreign workers who, according to him, were found locked in a room with gunshot wounds to their legs and left to bleed out. Different methods of killing at various locations, according to Kugel, indicated a premeditated plan. In one bunker, the attackers used flammable substances, while elsewhere they murdered tied individuals and mutilated bodies both before and after death. In the weeks following October 7, the center received about 3,000 bags, mostly containing body parts and burned bones, according to Betlach. The forensic team gradually identified all the murdered individuals, including a young woman from the Nova festival. Her remains, according to the report, were burned in an ambulance hit by a grenade, and identification was made possible by DNA found on her pendant. Betlach also stated that the work had mental repercussions on Kugel and other workers at the center. According to him, Kugel developed post-traumatic stress disorder. https://t.co/TnENwfdS30 #Izrael #masakr #forenznívěda (translated)
