At an international conference on forensic medicine and criminal identification that opened at the Museum of Tolerance in Jerusalem, Eyal Eshel, father of the observer Roni Eshel, of blessed memory, who was murdered on October 7 at the observers' command center in Nahal Oz, called for exposing to the world the forensic reports documenting the condition of the victims of the Hamas attack. "As Roni's father, a brave observer who defended with her body and soul the residents of the Gaza envelope and IDF soldiers and was burned alive, I call from this stage to all who deal with Israel's public diplomacy in the world and the atrocities of October 7 — take the difficult autopsy reports and pass them on to the rest of the world so it will understand what happened here and the magnitude of the human atrocity of the Hamas monster of Gaza," Eshel said. The conference, held on October 13 and 14, is attended by experts from Israel and the world who dealt with identifying the victims of October 7. Prof. Chen Kugel described the complexity of the identification work and compared it to that after the September 11 attacks. Dr. Nurit Bublil described the difficulty of identifying DNA samples exposed to heat of more than 800 degrees Celsius. Also Leah Goldin, mother of Lt. Hadar Goldin, of blessed memory, spoke at the conference. The conference also deals with the importance of preserving the testimonies and findings and making them accessible to future generations.
