Even after the announcement of a ceasefire, reports indicate that the Israeli military is continuing to flatten the remaining residential blocks in northern Gaza, leaving displaced civilians with no homes to return to. Satellite images from January 2025 reveal widespread destruction in Jabalia, Beit Lahia, and Beit Hanoun, alongside expanding tent camps in Gaza City—highlighting the mass displacement caused by the recent Israeli ground operation in northern Gaza.

If a final ceasefire agreement is not reached, Israel will likely target Gaza City next with the same tactics of systematic destruction and displacement.

Our @newhumanitarian investigation exposes how Israel targeted aid and starved Gaza.
We spent 7 mths piecing together how UN developed this plan with communities in northern Gaza & how Israel destroyed it.
Please read and distribute widely.

Hours before the ceasefire, Israel intensified its attack in one of the most violent nights since September 27th. Yesterday, 34 evacuation threats were issued for Dahiya alone. We are releasing the – hopefully – final weekly account of announced assaults on South Beirut, with a total number of 279 evacuation threats issued for 361 buildings in 2 months. This number excludes the numerous unannounced strikes and the consequent destruction.

La guerre ravage toujours le Liban, chaque jour les bombardements israéliens détruisent des villages.
Voici notre dernier reportage pour @ARTEInfo sur l'accueil des déplacés de cette guerre.

The notorious "evacuation orders" mapped on south Beirut, to better qualify the intensity and scale of destruction and urbicide.

(Also, number of strikes exceed the orders--that's for another map.)

NEW: ‘A Cartography of Genocide’. Since October 2023, we have collected and analysed data related to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. Our findings indicate that Israel has systematically targeted all aspects of civilian life. https://t.co/UUxYqpTF72

A year ago today, doctors stood among the bodies of victims of the Al-Ahli blast, warning that if Israeli impunity continued, more attacks on Gaza’s hospitals would follow. Among them was surgeon Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah, a firsthand witness to the blast, whose testimony was overlooked. We’ve recorded it here: https://t.co/6M8Lwl5XWC

Another night of horror in the #Gaza Strip.

A strike hit a hospital courtyard, burning the tents where people were sleeping. Just before this, an @UNRWA school sheltering families was hit in Nuseirat.

That same school was going to be used as a #polio vaccination site today.

À Ain el Remmeneh, un quartier de Beyrouth, la population suit avec anxiété les frappes israéliennes. Beaucoup en veulent au Hezbollah d'avoir entraîné le Liban dans un nouveau conflit. Chacun se tient prêt à quitter sa maison pour fuir les bombes.

Quel est l’effet de la thèse sur la consommation de psychotropes ? Une étude suédoise, qui compare doctorants et non-doctorants, apporte des résultats peu réjouissants.

Les doctorantes consomment 40 % de médicaments pour la santé mentale (plus que pour le décès d’un proche). 1/3

C’est avec une grande tristesse que nous avons appris la mort, le 19 juillet, du grand anthropologue anarchiste étatsunien James C. Scott. Son œuvre met en lumière les formes de vie au travers desquelles les « dominés » ne cessent de résister. De grandes leçons pour aujourd’hui…
