These towers surround Gaza's Roman Cemetery — an ancient intact burial site with 125 tombs that was discovered in 2022. @premiereurgenceint.bsky.social worked on the site before the war: www.theartnewspaper.com/2023/07/26/r...

Just for awareness of the area around Nasser Hospital and central/northern Khan Yunis, there's some partial @planet.com SkySat from yesterday showing an IDF outpost about 2.5km NE of the hospital and the heavy destruction that's taken place since June.

Most recent SkySat over Nasser was August 4.
A composite of two satellite images from Planet Labs from August 4 and August 24 2025. The satellite images are annotated to show the heavy destruction in the city on August 24 and the overview of the area near Nasser Hospital on August 4. An IDF outpost with vehicles is visible in the August 24 imagery about 2.5km NE of the hospital — previous imagery shows the IDF have been there since early June 2025. Another part of the August 24 imagery is annotated to show the general area where a Reuters cameraman was filming before being hit in today's IDF strike. PlanetScope imagery from August 24 and August 25 shows there's been recent destruction in that area.

Very concerning that mass shooters are starting to adopt a style of "shitposting" that combines the aesthetics of Tarrant-style Nazism with a self-aware, terminally-online-zoomer nihilism. Nothing in these manifestos (or written on AR-15s) should be taken literally.

Israel justified its strike on the Nasser Hospital, which killed six journalists and more than a dozen others, by claiming a "Hamas" camera was set up there.
The location they attacked is where Reuters and the AP livestream.

It's important that @itvnews.bsky.social was able to film the devastation in Gaza, but I'd note the buildings identified as the Turkish Hospital in their video at the 1:19 timestamp is incorrect.

The hospital is nearby at 31.4778, 34.4162. The buildings they highlight are at 31.4769, 34.4081.

While July 31 @planet.com imagery shows some more minor damage — it at least shows the dirt berm area was not expanded. That space included hundreds of now-bulldozed gravestones.

There is more destruction among the buildings surrounding the cemetery and large trees on the border of the cemetery have now been destroyed.

Sadly new SkySat imagery from @planet.com shows that even more graves at the Commonwealth Gaza War Cemetery ran by @cwgc.bsky.social have been destroyed by the IDF. Parts of Sections A, B, XXV, XVII, XVIII and XXVI appear to have been completely bulldozed with the creation of dirt berms on July 27.

Related to the reported assault on Gaza's Deir al-Balah, July 21 PlanetScope imagery from @planet.com shows a large warehouse at 31.4031, 34.3349 on fire and what appear to be clearings and airstrikes by the IDF.

This area has been full of internally displaced Palestinians since early 2024.
A July 18 2025 SkySat image from Planet Labs showing the area just south of Gaza's Deir Al-Balah city. There are a large amount of temporary structures from IDPs visible in the area as well as a large white warehouse.

The lower resolution makes it harder to see the finer details, but the large white warehouse visible in the SkySat imagery appears to be on fire with large black smoke coming from it. The areas around the IDP shelters appear to have been cleared as well, and there are grey splotches visible which are characteristic of either demolitions by the IDF or airstrikes/artillery strikes. A new IDF road leading from the central Salah al-Deen Road is visible as well.

We now have @planet.com SkySat imagery over this area from July 22. A zoomed-in look at the large area of IDP camps shows that they've been removed or destroyed by the IDF.

Also appears the Egyptian Cemetery, a @cwgc.bsky.social WW1 site, has been destroyed or damaged.

The suffering of Palestinians in #Gaza is worsened by the deplorable contamination they face everyday from garbage and polluted water due to Israel's ongoing genocide. Our @paxforpeace.nl data was used to improve detection of solid waste piles. A bleak overview:

While starving Gaza and its 80% refugee population, Israel is expanding its war on Palestinian refugees—and on their very ‘refugee-ness’—in the West Bank.
While starving Gaza and its 80% refugee population, Israel is expanding its war on Palestinian refugees—and on their very ‘refugee-ness’—in the West Bank. Our updated analysis shows that the Israeli military is continuing to carve up the refugee camps of Tulkarm, Jenin and Nur Shams to establish new military routes, displace Palestinians, and dismantle historic centres of resistance. By demolishing homes and repeatedly uprooting Palestinians, Israel is not only forcing them from place to place—itself a form of physical and psychological warfare—but attempting to erase the fact that these locations were ever refugee camps at all and weaken Palestinian demand for return. Each wave of displacement seeks to dissolve the Palestinian refugee identity and undermine the population’s political, historical and legal claims.

Example of the below Haaretz piece in satellite imagery: Recent SkySat from @planet.com shows that almost 100% of Tal as-Sultan, a large part of Rafah in the northern part of the governorate, has been destroyed by the IDF. The neighboring Saudi Housing Project north of that is now being demolished.

Unfortunately there has been further damage at the Jabaliya Byzantine church archeological site after it was damaged earlier this year.

The reception buildings have been destroyed. The protective structure that surrounded the 1,500 year-old mosaics also appears to have been partially destroyed.
