A bird of prey who helped locate bodies in an unknown area has died

 The eagle A47, thanks to which several bodies were located in the surrounding settlements, died and was buried together with thousands of turkeys. At the same time, a fundraising campaign was held to continue the birds of prey project live, in which the nest where A47 hatched is also documented

Ait Nitzi, who helped locate missing bodies from the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7 , has died. The eagle, nicknamed A47, was buried together with turkeys that died during the war in an undisclosed area.

Thanks to tracking the location of birds of prey in the surrounding settlements, at least four bodies were found near the Bari and Kisofim forests last month. The inspection conducted by the Nature and Parks Authority personnel was conducted following a request from the intelligence units and the Ethan unit, who asked to help them locate the landmarks of the raptors broadcast in the surrounding area.

Ohad Hatzofa, a bird of prey ecologist at the Nature and Parks Authority, wrote about the birds of prey that found bodies: "The 'star' of the Nature and Parks Authority is a white-tailed eagle, born in 2022 in the breeding nucleus of 'Forishim Naf,' which was tamed and released in the Hula reserve last November. The other is A yellow hawk eagle A47 that randomly helped the military forces, and is born in a nest photographed on online cameras." The Nature and Gardens Authority said that the cause of death is unknown
