In the largest public analysis of Israeli military strike footage, Airwars, in collaboration with Sky News, reviewed hundreds of clips of strikes the IDF said were targeting Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza that were posted on official military social media accounts in the first month of the war. Despite the grainy videos published with few details on targets or locations, Airwars matched 17 strikes to specific geo-coordinates where our researchers had tracked Palestinians killed or injured. In these strikes alone, more than 400 civilians were reported killed.
The video above explains our findings in detail, while the interactive map below features all strike footage geolocated as well as those cases matched to the Airwars civilian harm archive.

Most of the media talk about “killings” – this is not the case, this is Israeli jews in Israel’s army murdering people. 10’s of thousands have been murdered since last year. Let’s stop talking about “killing” and call it what it is murder by heavily armed jews in Gaza and on the west bank – and condoned by most of the Israeli jewish population (the arabs are treated as 2nd class citizens and don’t count).
Thank you for this, now shared at X/Twitter, and BlueSky.
Thus science is used to debunk art, but it takes time, effort and expertise, compared to the twee rote puffs of propaganda.
