They're looking for human remains, hoping to identify victims still missing a month on from the deadly Hamas attack.
Be'eri is one of the communities hardest hit by the Hamas gunmen who burst through the Israel-Gaza border on Oct. 7, killing around 1,400 people and taking more than 240 hostage, according to Israeli tallies.
Twisted, mangled cars still line the paths of the kibbutz, some houses stand gutted by fire, others are pierced by bullets.
So far they have helped identify 10 victims, they say, leaving an estimated 25 people still unaccounted for.
