Here's a thread to collect some (niche) details on the ongoing military offensive in northwestern Syria, which has already left 689,000 civilians displaced, according to the United Nations.
New visuals are believed to show the aftermath of a Feb. 3 Syrian (air/artillery) strike on a Turkish Armed Forces (#TAF) convoy on the M4 Highway between Nayrab and Saraqib: google.com/maps/place/35%…. At least on M60 tank destroyed. HT @QalaatAlMudiq @ryanmofarrell @CalibreObscura ImageImageImageImage
@QalaatAlMudiq @ryanmofarrell @CalibreObscura Satellite imagery, courtesy of @sentinel_hub, shows the massive influx of IDPs near the Bab al-Hawa border crossing with Turkey.
@QalaatAlMudiq @ryanmofarrell @CalibreObscura @sentinel_hub Aerial footage of suspected Russian Air Force (#RuAF/#VSK) strikes are regularly published by @annanews_info. @john_marquee is collecting geolocations in this thread, feel free to contribute.
@QalaatAlMudiq @ryanmofarrell @CalibreObscura @sentinel_hub @annanews_info @john_marquee Geolocation these airstrike videos is a worthwhile effort, especially when the strikes can be matched up with details on the ground → @VeSyriaE's reporting suggests that one of such strikes targeted a vehicle carrying IDPs back in Dec. 2019.
@QalaatAlMudiq @ryanmofarrell @CalibreObscura @sentinel_hub @annanews_info @john_marquee @VeSyriaE The Syrian Electronic Army has released an aerial video, which appears to have been filmed moments after a Turkish military convoy was targeted by suspected Syrian strikes on Feb. 3. Same location as photos taken from the ground: . HT @evanchill @anasanas84

Since it didn't make it into this story, threading some geolocations of airstrikes near Tinzaouaten by Turkish-made drones. These strikes could be conducted by Mali and/or Burkina Faso.
Overview map. Pink line is Wagner's route toward Tinzouaten, pink pins are location of first battle, green line is earth berms around the gold mines, and yellow pins are the drone strikes. Image
On July 30, three days after Wagner's defeat, multiple drone strikes hit in the middle of the gold mine known as Inatiyara, as well as a refugee camp known as Ekhariban. Location of damage filmed is at: 19.924667, 2.980035 (@GeoConfirmed).

In July, Wagner suffered its biggest defeat in Africa. Our visual investigation, using satellite imagery, battlefield footage and firsthand accounts, shows a moment-by-moment breakdown of what happened — and the fallout with families in Russia. nyti.ms/3Yx2Orx
Please read the full article for our main findings. In this thread, I’ll share extra details that didn’t make the story — focusing on geolocations, messages from family members and some insight on what’s going on with Wagner after the mutiny and Prigozhin’s death.
Some abbreviations used: CSP for the (mostly) Tuareg separatists, JNIM for the Al Qaeda-affiliated Islamist militants, FAMa for the Malian military.

Worth checking out: @SkyTruth has released renewed three oil and gas monitoring tools: Cerulean (AI-powered ocean oil pollution detection), Monitor (environmental change tracking), and the Natural Gas Flaring Map. Links in thread.
Cerulean uses satellite imagery to track ocean oil pollution and identify potential sources. An initial analysis revealed more than 1K oil slicks from vessels, suggesting that ships may be dumping more than 80 million gallons of oily sludge annually. cerulean.skytruth.orgImage

The Financial Times has already used @SkyTruth's Cerulean to identify chronic oil pollution hotspots in Southeast Asian waters, naming Indonesia as the worst-affected region. ft.com/content/24a7c5… x.com/trbrtc/status/… Image

For what it's worth, the IDF live-streamed its press conference on today's strikes in Beirut to YouTube. Instead of using their official account, they uploaded it as an unlisted video to the channel ”siteolympus9593”.

At least two large apartment buildings in the densely populated southern Beirut suburbs, known as Dahiya, were flattened. Lebanon's health minister said two to four additional buildings had been “completely decimated.” nytimes.com/live/2024/09/2…

Satellite image showing buildings in Beirut, Lebanon, with two structures highlighted and labeled "Buildings known to be flattened in strike." The inset map at the bottom right shows the location of the strike within the city of Beirut. The image credits are given to Airbus via Google Earth, as published by The New York Times.
..that the strikes had caused “complete decimation” to four to six residential buildings.

Another series of explosions has been reported across Beirut and other parts of Lebanon, this time involving ICOM communication devices that appear to be exploding.

Image
Image
Based on its appearance and the visible markings, this device seems to be the ICOM IC-V82 model. rigpix.com/icom/icv82.htm

The IC-V82 is a handheld VHF transceiver commonly used for amateur (ham) radio communication. It operates primarily in the 2-meter band (144-148 MHz). The marking on the photo above says MADE IN JAPAN.

Geolocation of the building in northern Tehran where Ismail Haniyeh was reportedly assassinated: 35.81931, 51.41559. An Iranian official shared the image with @farnazfassihi, and it is circulating on Telegram. Green cloth and rubble is visible on the east side of the building. Image
A satellite image captured by @Maxar on July 25 does not show the green cloth or the rubble on the first-floor roof, suggesting that the image above that's circulating is recent indeed. The building is adjacent to the Saadabad Palace, and near the president's official residence. Image
