A team of about 15 archaeologists, assisted by Israeli soldiers, were called in because even after search and rescue teams scoured several communities, scores of people remained unaccounted for.
The remains of a 12-year-old Israeli girl, burned alive alongside her twin brother and great-aunt in the October 7 Hamas onslaught on southwestern Israel, have been identified by archaeologists sifting through the rubble, family members said on Sunday.
Liel Hetzroni was murdered, together with her twin brother Yanai and their 73-year-old great-aunt Ayala, in the attack on Kibbutz Be'eri after they were taken hostage by the operatives, who were then engaged in a firefight with Israeli security forces.
The twins had been raised by their grandfather's sister after their single-parent mother suffered brain damage immediately following their C-section birth due to a tragic hospital mistake. Their grandfather Aviya was also killed in the attack on the kibbutz.
