But many houses, cars and bodies were set aflame, leaving them burned beyond recognition.

On this army base in Tel Aviv, dozens of combat and civilian specialists, morticians, doctors, dentists among them, have come together to set up this mobile morgue and field forensics unit. This facility had to be brought together as fast as possible to deal with the sheer scale of death from these terror attacks, behind me, cargo containers hastily formed into fridges to store the hundreds of bodies waiting to be identified and returned to their families.

Gilad Barat runs the operation. Every day, truckloads more bodies arrive.

Gilad Barat, Chief Superintendent, Head of Investigations: I have seen babies 6 years old, 2 years old that were — was burned alive. We had a truck the other day of I don't know how many, but small bags with children that each one of them was burned alive, mothers, mother hugging their child, trying to protect them.

And after they shot them and killed them, they abused the bodies with shovels, with axes. They cut their heads, their hands. We have many bags that contains body parts here. We don't know if it's part of bodies that we already have here that are missing parts, or it's new bodies. We don't know.
