"The killing, um the death, of a Palestinian man..." A BBC correspondent goes to great lengths to avoid correctly stating that Israel killed 78-year-old US citizen Omar As'ad.

Ahead of the arrival of U.S. troops at Toussaint Louverture International Airport, the Haitian police demolished dozens of houses near the airport's walls to establish a “buffer zone.” You can see it very clearly on these Planet satellite images from April 7 and April 30.

US-made munitions were used in a deadly Israeli airstrike on a United Nations-run school in central Gaza on Thursday where Palestinians were sheltering, a CNN analysis of video from the scene and review by an explosive weapons expert has found. cnn.com/middleeast/liv…

Not sure what U.S. State Department is looking at for their claim here, but if you're looking at Planet SkySat imagery you can see more parts of the city of Rafah are being destroyed or cleared every day. April 20 imagery vs. June 12 imagery.

Data from Amazon Mining watch shows that illegal miners continue to advance on indigenous lands in the Amazon using new methods of gold laundering. Our partners at Pulitzer Center & RepĂłrter Brasil highlight the complex reality on the ground.

Violent riots by groups associated with far-right networks have erupted in the UK. Social media videos of groups setting fire to hotels, police vans and breaking into shops are everywhere. It’s important to archive this material so it doesn’t disappear. Here's how to do that… 🧵

Incredible Bloomberg data visualization that clearly shows what’s actually going on between Israel and Lebanon. First, despite all the talk of the threat of Hezbollah rockets hitting Israel, it’s actually Israel that’s consistently firing far more rockets over the border.

Over the past year, our team reviewed hundreds of clips of airstrikes released on social media by the IDF - systematically geolocating them and matching them to the civilians who were actually killed. The result is our most powerful investigation to date. idf-tweets-gaza.airwars.org
