An investigation by the program 'The Story Continues' has presented alarming testimonies and official reports documenting the vaporization of the bodies of thousands of martyrs in the Gaza Strip due to the Israeli military's use of internationally banned thermal and vacuum weapons. The report, titled 'The Vaporized', aired on Al Jazeera and indicates that civil defense reports in Gaza and accounts from medics and families corroborate the disappearance of over 2,842 bodies, with only traces of blood and minimal human remains found at the bombardment sites.

According to the investigative report, the Israeli strikes employed thermal and vacuum explosives that can reach temperatures of about 3,500 degrees Celsius, producing immense pressure that causes bodily fluids to vaporize and converts tissues into ash. Moving personal stories feature prominently, including that of Rafiq Badran, who described how the remains of his four children were vaporized during intense bombardment that destroyed numerous homes, leaving him with nothing but 'black sand' and scattered remains.

The human toll of such weapons doesn’t end with physical devastation; it manifests in the emotional anguish of families like Yasmin, the mother of martyr Saad, who shared her harrowing search for her son's body in hospitals and morgues, only to find despair amidst the chaos. This investigation raises critical questions about the legality and ethics of such military tactics, emphasizing the urgent need for accountability in conflict situations.
