FA has documented a pattern of Israeli attacks on areas into which they have previously instructed civilians in Gaza to evacuate. Our research confirms that the Israeli military carried out multiple attacks in areas towards which civilians had been directed, either on the same day as the evacuation order, or on the day after.

Our latest findings on the al-Ahli hospital blast: using 3D trajectory analysis, we dispute the Israeli military’s claim that the hospital was struck by a misfiring Palestinian rocket from a salvo of 17, with most of the damage caused by unspent rocket propellant.

Ethnic cleansing is unfolding in northern Gaza. We are witnessing an intensification and acceleration of military tactics previously used by the Israeli military throughout the Strip, this time aimed at enforcing large-scale displacement from the north. Analysis of Israeli ground operations reveals a new military corridor slicing through the fabric of northern Gaza from east to west, further isolating northern Gaza from the rest of the Strip. Meanwhile, hospitals in Jabalia are under attack once again, some for the third time, and aid remains obstructed, exacerbating an engineered famine.

Over the past year, we have been working on a narrative study documenting the story of Nadia and Ahmad, a young Palestinian couple from northern Gaza forcibly displaced over a dozen times since 7 October 2023. Their harrowing account reveals the detention, abuse, and threats to life they endured even as they consistently complied with Israeli military orders — a microcosm of the broader patterns of genocidal violence we have observed over the last two years.

With Al-Haq الحق, we continue to monitor cases of reported attacks by Israel on medical facilities in Gaza. This task is made harder by Israeli disinformation; in the thread below, we demonstrate that Israeli media statements following the al-Ahli hospital blast were misleading.

Israel has designated the majority of the Gaza Strip for evacuation. 34 evacuation orders have been issued to civilians in Gaza since the dissolution of the ceasefire on 18 March 2025. Many of these orders define differing boundaries for the militarised buffer zone in the east of Gaza, gradually expanding the area designated for evacuation. See more:

Our analysis of Israel’s so-called ‘humanitarian bubbles’ indicates that this new system of aid distribution is simply an extension of the existing architecture of spatial control. The routes established for civilian access to these aid distribution centres (in blue) are continuous with Israeli military raid routes (in red), forming a militarised network designed to facilitate forced displacement and population control.

4) On 25 Apr 2025, the Israeli military issued an evacuation order to neighbourhoods in the east of Gaza City, directing civilians to move west, towards an area that had previously been issued evacuation orders on 26 Mar and 3 Apr. The following day, there was an attack on a residential building to the west of the neighbourhoods told to evacuate, in al-Sabra.

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:

3D analysis shows patterns of radial fragmentation on the southwest side of the impact crater, as well as a shallow channel leading into the crater from the northeast. Such patterns indicate a likely projectile trajectory with northeast origins.

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. More updates:

As Israeli forces advance into Rafah’s densely populated centre, bombing indiscriminately and targeting what little aid/medical infrastructure remains in Gaza, they are forcing the ~1.5m civilians in Rafah into a ‘humanitarian zone’ with no functioning medical infrastructure.

At the summit last week on 4 March, a new plan for Gaza’s reconstruction was presented by Arab leaders as an alternative to Trump’s plan to expel Palestinians from Gaza. Our analysis indicates that this initiative—which has gained support from the European Council—includes an architectural master plan that carries forward key elements of Israel’s designed destruction of Gaza (as addressed in our Cartography of Genocide report with its proposal for a ‘buffer zone’, security corridors, and raid routes.

Our analysis of satellite imagery from Nov 2023 - Jul 2024 reveals evidence of a new Israeli military corridor east of Gaza City. This new corridor is the second Israeli-built east-west passage through Gaza, after the so-called ‘Netzarim Corridor’. These corridors are infrastructural indications of an intended permanent Israeli military presence in the northern parts of the occupied Gaza Strip.

The mounting starvation in Gaza is a direct result of Israel’s dismantling of the ‘UN model’ of aid distribution and its replacement with the lethal GHF system. Israel is deliberately undermining systems of aid distribution by the UN and other international agencies: restricting the flow of aid, permitting looting in military zones, and attacking distribution centres. Just as civilians have been killed at GHF ration stations, those waiting along aid truck routes are also being targeted by the Israeli military—making every route to aid in Gaza deadly.

The world has witnessed two years of Israeli genocide: countless massacres, widespread displacement, engineered famine, and the annihilation of civic infrastructure. Israel has successively occupied North Gaza, Rafah, and Khan Younis, sealing them off, and razing them to the ground. Yet it has failed in its strategic aim — the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from all of Gaza. Any ceasefire must protect what remains of Gaza City, and dismantle the military corridors, so that Palestinians can return to their land. Without support for Palestinian-led reconstruction, the genocide will continue. We mapped the evolution of Israel’s two-year assault on Gaza:

Following the attack, the Israeli military attempted to conceal evidence of their crimes, and made a series of false claims about the circumstances surrounding the incident and the actors involved. Our findings conclusively refute these claims and situate this massacre in the wider context of the Israeli military’s genocidal campaign in Gaza. We also documented how in the hours, weeks, and months after the massacre, the site of the incident and surrounding area were progressively transformed by a series of military earthworks, an evacuation route, checkpoints, a military corridor, and a GHF aid distribution site.
