๐Ÿงต When I saw this poster, I decided to revisit the day this Hamas member was killed. I wanted to thoroughly analyze the incident in which he died and determine how many uninvolved people lost their lives because of him (along with him). Follow the thread >> Image

2. Let's return to the event where Jihad Qazzar was eliminated on August 4th.
The following day, a list of casualties was publishedโ€”23 names in total, including Jihad himself. As expected, he was not labeled as a Hamas member. Just a famous Quran teacher.

๐Ÿงต So, who are the 735 palestinian prisoners released in this exchange deal?
I analyzed a Ministry of Justice dataset containing their personal details, charges, and detention periods. While I lack time to investigate their individual cases, the data provides a broad overview Image

ยฒ The published information does not include details of specific terror events but contains convictions, detention period dates, organizational affiliation, and personal details.
Below is a brief explanation of relevant fields.

1/ Operation in Jenin: A Pale Shadow of the War in Gaza and "The Day After"

One of the main criticisms of Israeli leadership, including in Israeli media, is the claim that Israel has not planned for the "day after" the fall of Hamas. A few thoughts and parallels >> Image
Image
2/ The "day after" is often cited as one of the reasons for the prolonged war, which has yet to achieve its main goal โ€“ the elimination of Hamas. Many believe that if Israel presented an alternative to Hamas, everything would miraculously be resolved >>

๐ŸงตI postponed this thread multiple times, but with Reuters' recent publication, itโ€™s timely now:

Let's examine and compare reporting sources (GMO vs. Gaza MoH) and analyze fatalities identified by Gaza MoH.
TL;DR: Women and children account for 54.7% of fatalities, not 70%.

๐Ÿงต After two weeks of data collection, I would like to share an analysis of the data collected:
- Summary.
- Geographic analysis.
- About source of the funeral publications.
TL;DR:
- 194 killed #Hezbollah operatives.
- Dataset is partial.
- Data represents Southern Lebanon only Image
Image
2/
The collected dataset contains names of Hezbollah members, funeral town, home towns.
When home town is not specified explicitly, the funeral town is considered as home town.

Since 23-Sep, there are 194 funeral announcements.
Sometimes, they are published retroactively. Image

ยน The IDF operation in northern Samaria, West Bank, has ended.
In total, according to the #Palestinian MoH, 36 Palestinians were killed during 9 days of operation.
In the thread, I will present an analysis of the identities of the deceased.

ยฒ 24 out of 36 were officially declared as belonging to resistance organizations. Some of them were claimed by several organizations
Hamas: 7
PIJ: 12
Fatah: 9
Also, I found social media evidences regarding another 7 who fought the IDF but were not announced by any organization.

[Fatalities Analysis]
ยน
The IDF strike on a prayer hall in Al Taba'een School, Gaza City

First messages regarding the strike occurred at 04:43 AM.
35 min later, palestinians
announced about the death of 40 (tl;dr most closest number)

9 min after, they claimed 100 martyrs.
Image ยฒ
The only official statement was released by Hamas Goverment Media Office ~2h after the strike with a number of 100 martyrs.
5h after the strike, the first name list was published with 19 names in it.
40m later, palestinians published the list with 32 names.

๐Ÿงต ยน MoH Gaza published an updated list of identified names and details of the deceased palestinians up to the end of June.
The list contains 28,185 names. 9,715 less than what was claimed by the same MoH at the end of June.
Very brief analysis reveals several anomalies. โฌ‡๏ธโฌ‡๏ธ

ยฒ
According to the Gaza Goverment Media Office (Hamas local authorities), there were 37,765 'martyrs' overall since Oct 7.
They also provide a specific count per child and women (which allow us to calculate men).
Let's compare the published name list counts vs. Hamas claimed.

๐ŸงตSo we saw that there are no women's names on the list of the killed at the Nuseirat UNRWA school, despite the statements of MoH Gaza (14 children, 9 women).
Now, we will check how many children actually died in an airstrike based on social media analysis. Scroll downโฌ‡๏ธโฌ‡๏ธ

Overall, I succeed to find the names or/and faces of 22 palestinians that are claimed to be killed at the Nuseirat school strike.
Here, you can see the faces and names of 13 out of 22
(1-7, 9-14, 17 in the names list)
There are 2 children among them (num 12 and 13)โฌ‡๏ธโฌ‡๏ธ

1/ How much OSINT can we extract from the video of the helicopter crash site at East Azerbaijan Province, Iran?
In the video, we can see a person filming a playback captured from air.

The metadata extraction of the video shows 03:06 AM GMT or 06:36 AM Iranian time (UTC+3.5) โฌ‡๏ธ

2/ On the media player app, we can see the file name, which discloses the manufacturer - the DJI drone.

DJI_20240520102208_0001_S.MP4

The date of the file is today, the time is 10:22AM, which is not possible and probably shifted to drones' default country time.โฌ‡๏ธ Image

1/5 Geolocation | Disproof of Palestinian lies about Nasser Hospital mass graves.

Fake claims by @tamerqdh about #IDF-caused massacre.

In Jan/Feb, this exact place was used by palestinians as temporary cemetry.
I found a burial video of 30+ persons on 28 January. >>

Image 2/5
The date of the video is Jan-28.

The geolocation is exactly the same place as provided by @NemoAnno for the new video.

The backyard of Nasser Hospital Compound, south area of the hospital
