Weeks on, as the war continues to rage, ZAKA volunteers are still collecting remains.
The aftermath of the attack is so gruesome that only the most experienced ZAKA volunteers are allowed to take part in body collection.
On Friday, he and other ZAKA volunteers were combing through homes in Be’eri for the second time, finding more victims and collecting remains left behind during their first visit.
As ZAKA volunteers worked in Be’eri, several busloads of foreign journalists arrived, escorted by the IDF.
Most ZAKA volunteers say that they haven’t begun to process the trauma, and when they can step away, they don’t want to think.
