More than half of Gaza's buildings have been damaged or destroyed
since Israel launched its retaliation for the Hamas attacks of 7
October, new analysis seen by the BBC reveals.

Detailed before-and-after imagery also shows how the bombardment of
southern and central Gaza has intensified since the start of December,
with the city of Khan Younis bearing much of the brunt of Israel's
military action.

Israel has repeatedly told Gazans to move south for their own safety.
Across Gaza, residential areas have been left ruined, previously busy
shopping streets reduced to rubble, universities destroyed and
farmlands churned up, with tent cities springing up on the southern
border to house many thousands of people left homeless.

About 1.7 million people - more than 80% of Gaza's population - are
displaced, with nearly half crammed in the far southern end of the
strip, according to the United Nations.

Further analysis, by BBC Verify, reveals the scale of destruction of
farmland, identifying multiple areas of extensive damage.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has said it is targeting both Hamas
fighters and "terror infrastructure", when challenged over the scale
of damage.

Now, satellite data analysis obtained by the BBC shows the true extent
of the destruction. The analysis suggests between 144,000 and 175,000
buildings across the whole Gaza Strip have been damaged or destroyed.
That's between 50% and 61% of Gaza's buildings.

The analysis, carried out by Corey Scher of City University of New
York and Jamon Van Den Hoek of Oregon State University, compares
images to reveal sudden changes in the height or structure of
buildings which indicate damage.

Devastation moves south

The southern city of Khan Younis has been particularly badly hit in
recent weeks, with more than 38,000 (or more than 46%) of buildings
now destroyed or damaged, according to the analysis. Over the past
fortnight, more than 1,500 buildings have been destroyed or damaged
there.

Al-Farra Tower - a 16-storey residential block in the centre of the
city, the tallest building in the area - was flattened on 9 January as
can be seen in before-and-after images of the city's skyline. Much of
the neighbourhood in which it sits has been levelled by Israeli
attacks since late December.

"Israeli forces targeted residential complexes, especially in the
downtown Khan Younis area," said Rawan Qaddah, a 20-year-old resident,
who has been displaced and has lost contact with her family.
She named schools among the many buildings which had been damaged.
Some were now being used to house displaced people temporarily.

You can clearly see the level of damage from street level. Once
bustling high streets have been left derelict or destroyed.

The International Court of Justice has decreed that Israel has a case to
answer on the charge of genocide. And it has to submit a report soon on
how it is complying with directions to put an end to its behaviour. So far
it is doing the opposite of complying.

You wonder why, if the Palestinians are so much to blame, Israel doesn’t
file a case against them with the ICJ?

Of course, that would mean recognizing Palestine as a sovereign state ...

You don't need to file a case against an internationally recognized
murderous terrorist organization. You wipe it out, if you can!

Wiping out a terrorist organization has nothing to do with recognizing or
not recognizing a Palestinian state.

Those fools wouldnt know what genocide was

And Netanyahu will make an obscene gesture
in their general direction and there is sweet
fuck all the ICJ can do about that.

Because it makes a lot more sense to wipe out Hamas, stupid.

And they aren't that stupid.

Fun fact: Israel sent their own well-respected judge to sit on that panel,
and he voted in favour of two of the measures.

Does that mean Israel will respect those decisions, at least?

The ICJ is part of the UN. All signatories to the UN charter are obliged
to obey its decisions, as well as those of the Security Council. If Israel
had no intention of abiding by the UN charter, why did it sign up to it?

Irrelevant to whether those fools actually know what GENOCIDE actually is.

Huh! Finally the bitter truth is being squeezed out of Rod Speed.
He's a rabid Zionist..!!

The Zionist invaders in the West Bank are using the usual tactics to
displace the Arabs, all while calling those victims "terrorists"!

Gee!

To paraphrase...

Treason doth never prosper,
what's the reason?
For if it prosper,
none dare call it Treason.
