Title
Satellite Imagery Shows Vast Destruction in Rafah
Abstract
After the IDF began an operation in the Tall As Sultan neighbourhood, the majority of buildings were destroyed. Using OpenStreetMap building data, Bellingcat found that out of the roughly 670 buildings in an eastern neighbourhood of Tall As Sultan, only 224 remained standing.
Based on historical imagery from Google Earth, it is possible to see that the largely residential area was built more than a decade ago. But most buildings were demolished between July 18 and August 4 2024, after the IDF arrived.
