Unable to publish crucial satellite imagery evidence from the moments after the incident, we recreated the scene in 3D.

Six emergency vehicles are visible in a hole just south of where medics' bodies would be exhumed a week later.

20 IDF vehicles are within a 0.5mile radius.

While the Israeli military said the soldiers shot from afar, gunfire was initially 150 feet away or less when they opened fire on the convoy of emergency vehicles and later was within about 50 feet, according to the estimates of two audio forensics experts who analyzed audio for The Post.

At this point if the helicopter pilot had misidentified the incoming plane for one further behind, it would have become increasingly difficult for them to realize their mistake as the AA 5342 jet's lights merged with the city lights below as it arced to the east preparing to land at runway 33.

Our examination shows how the American Airlines jet, AA5342, and the second plane AA3130, though separated by miles, would have appeared close to one another near the horizon and the helicopter crew could have confused the two jets when the tower first warned of incoming air traffic.

Sentinel-2 satellite imagery taken on Tuesday at 10:45 a.m., around 20 minutes after the Palisades Fire began, indicates that the origin of the smoke overlapped with the burn scar from the New Year’s Eve fire. Smoke extends in the direction of the wind, to the south.

The Post identified the burn scar of the New Year’s Eve fire using false-color satellite imagery taken before and after the blaze. The near-infrared spectral band helps track changes to vegetation in satellite imagery. Healthy plant cover appears red, while the scorched ground appears blue to brown.

New clearings and demolitions over the last two months were concentrated in the south of Jabalya, flattening almost half of the camp, including the main market area.

As of Dec. 1, a third of all buildings across the North Gaza governate had been destroyed since the beginning of the war.

The establishment of this corridor, the clearing of tracts of land on either side of it and the construction of square-shaped protected outposts resemble the IDF’s transformation of the Netzarim Corridor, a strategic Israeli military zone in the center of Gaza, analysts said.

The visual evidence shows almost half of Jabalya refugee camp was demolished or cleared between Oct. 14 and Dec. 15, connecting a preexisting road in the west to an expanded vehicle track in the east — carving out a military axis that stretches from the sea to the border fence with Israel.
