Two tanks, gunfire and smoke plumes from explosions in a video filmed from IDF position in western Gaza City, 400m from the (no-longer operational) Al Quds hospital building. This area is now an IDF stronghold as they continue to advance in the city. Video uploaded 30 Sept. POV 31.507616, 34.435320

Scenes like this we sadly see often, but they're no less shocking every time. Aid trucks drive through dense crowds in southern Gaza. This drone clip was filmed around 1km north of the IDF's Morag Corridor (31.317803, 34.284942)

A fourth high rise flattened in Gaza city, a few hours after the IDF issued it with an evacuation warning. Four in four days. Details on the other three here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c1... Source:

The IDF publish video of controlled demolition of around 20 multi-storey buildings in south Gaza city. They say they're destroying a tunnel. IDF vehicles were stationed at this position until very recently, which suggests they could be advancing again. Drone POV about here: 31.495254, 34.462073.

Tanks, excavators, a D9 bulldozer and rubble. Video captured around 10 days ago shows the view from an IDF forward operating base (previously Al Furqan primary school) towards Gaza city. (POV: ~31.488938, 34.445581)

Rafah street view, south Gaza, published earlier today. This is just a few hundred metres drive. Practically all of Rafah looks like this now, and many other places too (see my earlier posts about Beit Hanoun, for another example). POV starts here: 31.296275, 34.241656

You can see some of this demolition work in action in another aerial vid, shared at the start of August by one of the contractors involved. (This one starts around here: 31.534503, 34.536026)

Drone footage published at end of July shows former city of Beit Hanoun in north Gaza now rubble. (POV starts about here: 31.534634, 34.542251).
