An ecologist is using birds of prey to help Israel's army recover dead bodies at the sites where Hamas attacked on 7th October
Ohad Hatzofe, of Israel's Nature and Parks Authority, tracks the migratory patterns of numerous birds using GPS tracking devices.
His data helped to locate four corpses after he was asked for help on 23 October.
Another bird found a few other locations of interest, Mr Hatzofe said.
The Israeli ecologist said he first reviewed the data of a white-tailed eagle that had been born in Israel. It was hatched in the country in an effort to reintroduce the bird after its species' extinction in the region.
It had just returned very hungry from a long migration north of Moscow and proved to be a keen searcher.
Mr Hatzofe reviewed its movements and chose certain positions where it had stopped. He then shared that data with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), which found the four corpses.An ecologist is using birds of prey to help Israel's army recover dead bodies at the sites where Hamas attacked on 7 October.
