Israel’s Quest to Identify Every Victim of Hamas Leaves Scientists Exhausted, Traumatized

不敢相信居然会有人支持哈马斯。

“Sometimes you look at something and you think it belongs to one person and then you start separating it out and you realize that it is multiple people who were holding each other, close to each other, comforting each other through everything that was happening,” said Peer.

The next bag to be opened contained nothing but bone fragments, all bleached white, an indication that they were subjected to intense heat. The remains were from Nir Oz, where numerous houses were torched and a quarter of its 400 residents were dead or missing after Oct. 7.

No tissue was visible and no DNA was likely to remain in the whitened bones, making identification especially problematic. “The heat was so strong it became like a crematorium,” said Furman. “This is definitely for the anthropologists.”

Another bag brought in later contained even more charred remains. Furman studied the CT scan of the contents, which showed teeth, metal fragments and an unidentifiable piece of bone. Rotating the image on the monitor, she recognized it was a piece of skull with a portion of jaw attached.

Inside the blackened mass, there was a clean round bullet hole in the skull fragment. The tissue still appeared fresh enough to take a viable sample, and there were teeth that could be matched to dental records, making the chances of a positive identification even more likely.

美国和专家称有证据表明加沙医院爆炸是杰哈德火箭弹所致

有一种说法是火箭弹是由哈马斯从医院背后的墓地发射的,结果没飞到目的地,半路掉下来引燃了医院。

以色列、美国政府和独立安全专家周三对巴勒斯坦有关以色列空袭导致加沙一家医院发生致命爆炸的说法提出质疑。他们说,初步证据指向当地一个激进组织。

独立分析人士仔细研究了周二加沙Al-Ahli阿拉伯医院爆炸及其后果的公开图像后说,爆炸地点不具备以色列通常使用的炸弹或导弹袭击的特征。

伤亡数量似乎也不符合哈马斯控制的加沙卫生部所说的471人死亡的说法。

华盛顿近东政策研究所(Washington Institute for Near East Policy)的军事与安全问题专家Michael Knights说,没有任何空袭的迹象。

美国官员说,美国已经收集到高可信度的情报,表明加沙医院的爆炸是由激进组织巴勒斯坦伊斯兰圣战组织(杰哈德)制造的,这支持了以色列不应为爆炸负责的说法。

美国国防部官员说,美国之所以认为以色列不是医院爆炸事件的幕后主使,部分是基于美国截获的通讯和收集的其他情报。

白宫国家安全委员会发言人艾德丽安·沃森(Adrienne Watson)说,目前的评估是,基于对空中图像、截获通讯和公开来源信息的分析,以色列不应对加沙医院的爆炸负责。她还说,美国将继续收集有关该事件的信息。

在爆炸现场拍摄的照片和视频显示,医院建筑没有受到重大破坏。爆炸对医院外面的停车场造成了一个很浅的弹坑。几名开源情报分析人士说,爆炸发生的室外面积很小,冲击波造成的破坏也有限,这与巴勒斯坦卫生部声称的死亡人数不符。

弗吉尼亚州智库海军分析中心(Center for Naval Analyses)的开源情报分析师Blake Spendley说,目前大量证据确实表明,袭击该地区的是哈马斯或巴勒斯坦伊斯兰圣战组织的火箭弹。他说,他看过的视频和照片显示,现场的死亡人数更符合大约50人,而不是哈马斯最初声称的500人。
