According to news from the Israel-based Jerusalem Post, an international task force will be established to accelerate the search for captives and deceased individuals in the Gaza Strip. According to the source, representatives from Israel, the United States, Turkey, Egypt, and Qatar will participate in the operation.
The editorial office reports that one of the main elements of the plan is to allow for the excavation of buildings in known areas and, if necessary, their demolition with heavy machinery; concurrently, relevant expert groups and legal-forensic teams will work quickly to identify and hand over the remains of bodies and surviving captives. The source also stated that the goal is to achieve results as quickly as possible—within 72 hours.
The activities of the task force and the plan to use heavy machinery may raise international humanitarian and legal considerations; official confirmations and a detailed implementation mechanism have not yet been disclosed, and further statements from the parties regarding how the process will be carried out are awaited.
