The National Institute for Forensic Medicine (Abu Kabir) announces that all nine bodies of the Israelis killed yesterday in the Iranian missile strike in Beit Shemesh have been identified.
“This has been the most complex and difficult event we have dealt with since the beginning of Operation Roaring Lion, and therefore the identification efforts lasted several hours,” says Dr. Ricardo Nachman, director of the Forensic Clinical Examinations Unit.
He says the unit carried out the identification process using various scientific methods in cooperation with the Israel Police.
“We share in the grief of the families at this difficult time,” Nachman says.
So far, authorities have released the names of four of the victims.
