Archaeologists sift through devastation to help families of Oct. 7 victims gain closure

There are still families in Israel whose loved ones are missing following the horrendous terrorist attack on October 7. Six weeks after the attack, the fate of some of the missing persons is still unknown.

Some victims' bodies have been burned beyond recognition. Whole families have been set ablaze alive. The army's missing persons unit has asked archeologists from the Israel Antiquities Authority to help find and identify remains, due to their ability to handle very small and fragile pieces of evidence (<--- hyperlink)

But we are supposed to believe that Hamas, during a devastating war, is able to rapidly and correctly identify 1000 victims of bombings each day, notwithstanding scattered body parts under tons of rubble, and the supposed lack of medical facilities for forensic analyses. Pfftt.

How does Hamas identify victims of bombings that fast, really? 1000 a day, while busy fighting, firing rockets, guarding hostages, and running back to the tunnels to hide. How?

 

I doubt numbers are ever 100% during times of war, we just know many die

 

We actually can't know how many have so far died in Gaza because there's no reliable source for the numbers there. Terrorist organizations aren't usually trustworthy.

 

we will never know the true numbers, agree with you, we know many died, best we can say.... giving a count is just a guess

we can never know the exact number of Jews that died under hitler either, though we know it was a lot

 

Are you equating the war in Gaza with the Holocaust?

 

I am comparing counting the dead in these kinda instances - it's hard to do, do you disagree?

 

Yes, it's hard to do. That's why claims of 1000 dead civilians a day in Gaza shouldn't be taken seriously by anyone with half a functioning neuron. Add the fact that the source is a terrorist organization...

 

isn't that what I just said, the best we can say is many have died, anyone that give you an exact count is just guessing
