Simcha Greinman is among the unreliable ZAKA workers. He is responsible for a claim that a woman was found killed and when they sought to move her body, she dropped a live grenade that she had been holding on to while dead. His opinions on gender violence should be read with caution as he specifically says he is not qualified to opine on specific matters such as sexual abuse.
Among them, first responder Simcha Greiniman, who leads one of the ZAKA Search and Rescue volunteer teams retrieving bodies across Israel’s south, said he saw direct evidence of sexual abuse, though he’s not qualified to determine it in line with Israeli criminal standards.
Amid war and urgent need to ID bodies, evidence of Hamas’s October 7 rapes slips away
"Speaking on October 26, Greiniman said he found the body of a woman at Kibbutz Be’eri, lying facedown on a bed, unclothed from the waist down. She had been shot in the back of her head.”
Her body was in a state of decay as it was only discovered on October 10.
“So you understand that we couldn’t see any [criminal forensic] evidence and that’s not our job. Our main goal is to bring the bodies to burial”
Noya Sharabi was indeed found 3 days after her mother and sister were found dead at Be’eri and DNA was required to identify her.
This appears to match a similar account given by Haim Outmezgine:
I continue, reaching one of the kibbutzim. We see a breached safe-room door, that was forced open. We see two women shot, on the floor. We look in the room across, we see a young girl on the bed, without pants or underwear, also shot in the head.
However, given that the girl mentioned was found 3 days later, Outmezgine’s account appears inaccurate, likely a combination of two separate events separated by three days.
Citing Greeneman:
In one house they found the body of a naked woman, holding a hand grenade. The only conclusion they could reach from that image was that the woman was raped while being threatened by a hand grenade, whose pin was out and ready to go off if she moved. She couldn’t move.
