Data from GPS-tagged carrion birds is aiding Israel's military in finding corpses around the site of an October 7 attack by Hamas. Eagles, vultures, and other birds fitted with trackers have helped locate human remains, said wildlife expert Ohad Hatzofe. On October 23, a rare sea eagle that had returned from Russia led authorities to four bodies near Beeri. In the Hamas attack, over 1,400 were killed and 30 more from Beeri are missing. The bird data has enabled recovery of additional bodies in Israel, though identities remain undisclosed. Police have identified nearly 1,200 victims so far.
