GeoConfirmed ISR-PAL Investigation.

Palestinians are exhuming bodies from the grounds of the Nasser Medical Complex hospital complex in Khan Younis, Gaza.
This is occurring at the same location where mass graves were dug and burial ceremonies had taken place by Palestinians in recent months. (Proof in this thread)

Footage from Palestinians digging graves/mass graves dated 25 January, 28 January and 03 February while IDF entered the hospital around 15 February.

Quote from
“In the hospital courtyard, civil defence members and paramedics have retrieved 180 bodies buried in this mass grave by the Israeli military." (By Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud)

Conclusion:
This is disinformation by Al Jazeera and others:
This is a known graveyard/mass grave and at least partially dug by Palestinians.
This does not exclude that graves could have been added when the hospital was occupied by Israeli forces.aljazeera.com/news/2024/4/21…Image

This is not the first time claims like this were made.

The discovery of graves in Al Shifa, for example, that were also at least partially dug by Palestinians.
Or even in this example:

23 DEC 2023: "A civil defense team buried the bodies of unknown Palestinians left in the streets for over 20 days in Gaza city."

31 JAN 2024, the same mass grave was dug up...but with a different explanation.

Conclusion:

Claiming that 180 bodies were buried in a mass grave "by IDF" is disinformation, by Al Jazeera and others.
This is a known graveyard/mass grave and at least partially dug by Palestinians. This does not exclude that graves could have been added when the hospital was occupied by Israeli forces.

Remark:

It is highly likely that hospitals were forced to bury the deceased on their own grounds or in nearby areas due to safety concerns around transporting the bodies to a formal graveyard.

For example, in a video from Nasser hospital, people mention that the facility was under siege, indicating they were unable to take the deceased to a graveyard and had to bury them on the hospital premises.

According to Islamic funeral customs, Muslims are typically expected to be buried as soon as possible after death, often within 24 hours.

This helps explain why the hospitals opted to conduct burials on their own grounds, with the intention of providing a proper funeral at a later, safer time. Reburial is a known practice in conflict situations.

Overall, the decision to bury the deceased on hospital grounds or nearby areas was likely a pragmatic one driven by safety and religious burial practices, rather than any malicious intent.

More information: this was just brought to our attention.

Jan 28: NBC News.

"Palestinians have dug a mass grave on the grounds of Nasser Hospital, as they lack a safe passage to transport bodies for proper burials. The hospital's manager says 150 bodies have been buried in the past few days after they started to decompose in the hospital's mortuary.'

This is the location visible in VID 03.

Reminder: This does not exclude that graves could have been added when the hospital was occupied by Israeli forces.

nbcnews.com/video/palestin…
More information, this was just brought to our attention.

0:20 - "I am here to find the body of my son, his brother told me that he buried him here."

Reminder: in this thread we only proof that these mass graves existed before, just as the graveyards, and were at-least partially dug by Palestinians.

While the initial reporting spoke about "new mass graves" and people "buried in this mass grave by the Israeli military" with accompanying footage... while that footage taken was at the location of known mass graves.

I feel sorry for the fact that we are discussing now about how people should report... instead of making assumptions and unproven claims they should stick to facts.

All this while we should be talking about the important issue: Hundreds of people died and are buried at this place.

This is - and always will be - horrible.

GeoConfirmed announcement.

Please be cautious when sharing information about the assassination attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump. A lot of misinformation and disinformation is circulating regarding this incident.

GeoLocations:

Estimated location of the shooter: 40.858273, -79.970548
Estimated location of Trump: 40.857139, -79.970870
Estimated location of casualties: 40.856939, -79.970926
Estimated location of crane that is hit: 40.856831, -79.971197
Estimated location of this sniper detachment: 40.857092, -79.970372

An example of widely spread misinformation:
In this video you DON'T see the snipers engaging. The three shots are assessed to be from the shooter. What does not mean this team hasn't engaged the shooter at a later time, it's only not visible in the video claiming they did.

We asked experts and fact checkers their opinion:
Always focus on what you DO see and DO hear in a video.

Observations:

After the first shot Trump is reaching for his ear. Almost the same time Sniper One (With the tripod) is repositioning/taking cover. Also Sniper Two is taking cover. A sniper will not immediately shoot after repositioning: it takes a few seconds to zoom in, adjust scope etc.
Three shots are heard with the same specific sound, all three assessed to be from the shooter.

Another video (Vid 01) emerged where bystanders identify the threat before he starts shooting. At 0:03 you hear three shots. At 0:07 you hear 5 more shots in a fast pace but with the same sound as the first three. Followed with what is assessed as another different type of gun shot.
At 0:16 a witness is describing the shooter to be turning in their direction.
At 0:19 another single different sound what is also assessed as another different type of gunshot, is heard.


In Vid 02 you hear them also identifying the shooter and the same sequence of shots is heard.


In Vid 03 you see the location of casualties.


In Vid 04 you see that a crane is hit (at 0:16) near the location where casualties where reported.


In Vid 05 you see the Sniper Team is still repositioning a fraction before the next 5 shots are heard. Sniper One is still looking over his rifle to assess threat location.


So these are observations.
We asked experts for their opinion what we see here. And the thread written by @LtTimMcMillan seems to be accurate. (Vid 06)

Opinion:

1. Snipers are tasked for very far engagements. The shooter was 125m away. It is very likely the was not in their area of responsibility.

2. Snipers that are using their scope have a narrow field of view. You see that Sniper One is using his scope, probably screening far away/in depth. When trying to identify the treat he had to look over his scope and reposition his rifle, because the treat is likely way closer than expected.

This also means that its impossible to state that this specific detachment failed just based on the footage.
You need to know and understand how they work, what their area of responsibility was, and what the communication was they got, etc...

Read the whole thread by @LtTimMcMillan:


In times like this its advised to follow accounts like @Shayan86 and other fact checkers.

Other examples:

"Major blue-tick accounts are falsely claiming that "Antifa extremist Mark Violets" was the shooter at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania today, who earlier revealed his plan in a YouTube video. The video shows Italian football fan Marco Violi, who has nothing to do with the shooting."


An X user claiming they got the wrong guy.


and lots of other claims.

Conclusion:

Stick to what you hear, see, and know.
Recognize that you may not possess the knowledge to comprehend everything, and it's more beneficial to identify experts and read/listen to their insights on topics beyond your expertise.
Ultimately, a thorough investigation will be necessary to understand what is as close to the truth as possible.

Be mindful of misinformation and disinformation, particularly in these times. The rise of engagement farming has exacerbated this threat to a significant degree.

GeoConfirmed UKR.

Last night, Ukraine conducted one of its largest drone attacks in the history of this war.

According to various reports, Ukraine used up to 80 drones, identified as 'Liutyi' one-way attack long-range unmanned aircraft, to strike different targets in Novorossiysk, Russia (approximately 350km from the nearest frontline) and the refinery in Tuapse, Russia (approximately 450km from the nearest frontline).

During the attack, which lasted for hours, dozens of drones followed sometimes the same trajectory, without being intercepted by Russian Air Defense, to strike targets inside Russia.

The targeting of Novorossiysk is particularly significant from a strategic perspective because this is the harbor where various ships of the Black Sea fleet have withdrawn to after the strikes on Sevastopol.

Thread with all the geolocated footage.

GeoConfirmed ISR-PAL. GeoConfirmed Investigation 'Mass graves' - Final.

It has come to our attention that our previous investigation thread did not achieve the desired outcome. For this reason, we have conducted further research and wish to clarify some important points:

Although we had intended to demonstrate that the site was not a new mass grave for 180 individuals recently killed by the IDF, as had been insinuated, we underestimated how our initial thread was subsequently used. We did not provide sufficient context, and we now aim to rectify that.

The fact that Palestinians had to bury their loved ones within the hospital complex, in any available space, is a direct consequence of the surrounding and occupation of the hospital by IDF forces. A significant number of the deaths are also the result of the ongoing conflict.

We want to emphasize that open-source intelligence (OSINT) cannot fully capture the extent of what occurred on the hospital grounds.

After our initial investigation, additional questions arose, prompting us to delve deeper into this matter.

Our first thread:
Our temporary update:


We have been able to geolocate dozens of videos.
To make this information more accessible and easier to follow, we have named the three cemeteries based on their respective locations:

Cemetery South
This cemetery is located south of the road, under the palm trees.

Cemetery North
This cemetery is situated north of the road.

Cemetery East
This cemetery is located in the corner of the area.

By naming the cemeteries according to their geographic locations, we aim to provide a more organised and readable presentation of the findings. This approach eliminates the need to include geolocation proof for every individual video, making the information more concise and easier to comprehend.

We will publish our findings in a timely manner to encourage further thought, discussions and investigations on these matters.
This will be a long thread.
The translations were done by using Google translate and Google image translator.

Special thanks to @MiddleEastBuka, @TwistyCB and @GeoRaccoon for their work. Thanks to specific people from outside the GeoConfirmed network for the advice given.

Last night, Ukraine executed one of its most extensive combined drone strikes in history, according to preliminary reporting: At least 100 drones were involved in the attacks, targeting at least three areas in Russia: Kursk, Engels Airbase, and Morozovsk Airbase. Additionally, there are reports that Belgorod, Voronezh, and Rostov-on-Don may also have been targeted.

In this thread we will publish the different geolocations.
