Mapping the destruction of cemeteries in Gaza
Newsy
Imagery provided by Earth-imaging company Planet Labs shows two graveyards in Gaza that have recently been destroyed.
New satellite imagery provided by Earth-imaging company Planet Labs shows two graveyards in Gaza that have recently been destroyed. In some cases, Israel appears to be using other recently cleared cemeteries as bases to stage heavy vehicles.
Here's what we know.
One of these recently cleared cemeteries was new and started filling up as soon as the war began on Oct. 7.
In the satellite images, you can see both cemeteries.
One predated the most recent conflict, while the other was not filled until Israel started bombing the Gaza Strip. In imagery from Planet Labs from October, November and December, we can see it gradually being filled.
