Israel destroys key evidence related to October 7th including house shelled by Israeli tank
Occupied Palestine (Quds News Network)- Israeli media reported that the Israeli military will dismantle key sites related to the military operation on October 7th. The dismantling of military posts and houses connected to the operation is seen as an attempt to erase critical evidence of its own involvement in the deaths of Israelis and obstruct future investigations.
The Nahal Oz military post, a significant site during the October 7th military operation, is currently being dismantled by the Israeli army, reported Maariv. Families of the female soldiers who were killed at the post have voiced their frustration, accusing the Israeli army of trying to cover up what really happened. Families of Israeli soldiers questioned how a thorough investigation could be conducted when the physical evidence telling the story is disappearing.
Despite assurances from the Israeli military that the site would be preserved “to honor the legacy of the soldiers”, the parents argue that this promise has not been kept.
Similarly, the home of Pesi Cohen in the settlement of Be’eri, a focal point of the events, where Israeli tanks shelled houses of Israelis, was demolished nearly 11 months after the event. The home, where 13 out of 15 Israeli prisoners were killed in a tank shelling, was central to an investigation by the Israeli army into the events.
These demolitions have led to widespread criticism, with many fearing that they are part of a broader attempt to erase evidence and frame the resistance for alleged war crimes.
In addition to these recent actions, former reports stated that Israel rushed to bury the dead bodies following the military operation on October 7th without collecting evidence, justifying these actions on religious grounds. This has further fueled suspicions, especially since reports from Gaza state that Israel’s military buries the bodies of civilians after executing them in areas that will be visited by international inspectors.
