But Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Earshot's founder, told me that a whistling noise of the sort Abu Khalid described was really consistent with only one thing, a guided missile.

So yes, that sharp, loud whistling noise is very consistent with other parts of your investigation, that this is an airstrike and that's the noise produced by a guided missile.

A guided missile

And about his relationship with Dr. Hossam Abu Safiyeh.

And typically when he goes to the hospital, he meets with the acting director there, which is Dr. Hussam Abu Safiyeh.

But Lawrence, can you explain the role of your organization, Earshot, in analyzing the gunshots? What exactly took place, what you found, how many shooters, their locations? Um, again, you've been called, rather than a private eye, a private ear.

Yeah, thank you so much for having us.

So, you know, this is a classic case for an organization like Earshot.

We do audio analysis for human rights and environmental advocacy.

Um, and when we have a case like this, where the evidence is really heard, but not so much seen, right? Because, uh, the main piece of evidence that was taken by Refaat Al-Ridwan, he was holding the camera to his chest, uh, as he was covering from the gunfire.

And so you see very little, but you hear almost everything that happens, and you hear it in stereo.

Um, so what we could do is, over eleven months, uh, analyze each of those gunshots and sort of piece together the whole story of what happened.

Lawrence, uh, finally, as we only have a minute to go, um, if you can comment on this, and also your, um, being able to figure out some of the names, if only the first names of the Israeli shooters, the Israeli assassins.
