THREAD: A new @ForensicArchi report analyzes 1000s of data points to identify patterns across Israel's conduct in Gaza.
The patterns indicate that Israel is systematically committing crimes of persecution and destruction in Gaza, amounting to genocide. forensic-architecture.org/investigation/…
Israel’s military has taken over 36% of land in Gaza with military outposts, checkpoints, and Israeli-constructed roads, dividing Gaza and allowing Israel to surveil Palestinians as it kicks them out of their homes.
Israel has forced over 90% of Gaza’s population out of their homes, pushing them towards shrinking areas that it continues to bomb.
Israel has attacked at least 70% of schools being used as shelters and killed Palestinians along “safe routes.”
In Gaza, Israel has destroyed:
- Over 83% of all plant life
- Over 70% of agricultural land
- Over 47% of groundwater wells
- Over 65% of water tanks
- All wastewater management systems
Of Gaza’s 36 hospitals, Israel has:
- Forced 35 to stop service one or more times
- Targeted 31 in bombings and attacks
- Besieged 11, surrounding them and barricading doctors and patients inside
- Violently invaded 10
Israel has destroyed or damaged at least 60% of all buildings in Gaza, including homes, hospitals, shelters, schools, universities, mosques, churches, and cultural institutions.
Forensic Architecture analyzed 313 cases where the Israeli military targeted aid distribution operations, aid workers and civilians at aid distribution sites, finding that the attacks were systematic and repetitive in nature.
Forensic Architecture’s report is clear:
Israel is committing a genocide, killing tens of thousands of Palestinians while concentrating those who’ve so far survived into smaller and smaller areas.

🚨THREAD: Israel killed the son of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital. Its military shot Ibrahim Abu Safiya in the chest during a violent assault on the hospital on October 8.
Israel killed Ibrahim Abu Safiya as part of its relentless genocidal campaign in Gaza in which it has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians. Israel is deliberately targeting Palestinian civilians and healthcare workers alike.
The UN reported that during its brutal attacks on the hospital, Israel abducted at least 40 Palestinian medical workers, a blatant violation of international protections for healthcare staff.
THREAD: This week, Israel’s Minister for Social Equality and the Advancement of the Status of Women, May Golan, openly declared, “What the Arabs need to get today is a Nakba.”
This isn’t just dangerous rhetoric—it’s a chilling reminder of Israel’s genocidal intent against Palestinians. For over a year, Israel’s campaign of destruction, ethnic cleansing and genocide has been ongoing throughout Gaza.
Israel’s genocide has reached beyond catastrophic levels in north Gaza. For 20 days, Israel has intensified its siege, deliberately targeting Palestinian civilians with relentless airstrikes. Israel has killed more than 770 Palestinians in north Gaza & trapped more than 400,000.
THREAD: Today, Israel named 6 Al Jazeera journalists in a public list containing unsubstantiated claims about them, laying the groundwork to target and kill them with impunity.
The 6 journalists Israel is targeting are among the only journalists left in north Gaza, where Israel is committing some of its most brutal violence against Palestinians yet by separating families, rounding up Palestinians by gender, and killing hundreds.
Fears for the lives of these journalists are not unfounded.
Israel has killed at least 175 journalists since it began committing genocide in Gaza last year.
🚨THREAD: Today, Israel killed Dr. Mohammed Ghanim, an emergency physician at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, using a quadcopter.
Dr. Mohammed was one of many Palestinian healthcare workers who remained committed to saving lives, even as Israel’s genocidal campaign and war crimes intensified in Gaza.
Over the past year, he shared testimonies of the hardships he endured under Israel’s genocide, like being forcefully driven from hospital to hospital yet never abandoning his duties.
🚨 THREAD: For 18 days, Israel’s military siege on northern Gaza has escalated, targeting Palestinian civilians with relentless airstrikes.
Israel has killed at least 700 Palestinians, and over 400,000 are trapped, starving, and cut off from essential supplies. Israel has blocked all food, aid, and medicine from entering the area, and families are starving as the assault continues.
Journalist Sulaiman Ahmed reports that those attempting to escape the area are met with “drone and artillery fire,” while others are being targeted even as they follow orders to move. “A massacre is unfolding in northern Gaza, with bodies in the streets,” he shared.
THREAD: Here’s an overview of what’s happening in northern Gaza.
At the beginning of October, the Israeli military tightened its already deadly siege on north Gaza and began violently attacking everyone left in the area, about 400,000 Palestinians.
Israeli soldiers have been rounding up civilians, including children, separating men and boys from women and girls while committing daily massacres.
