We’re continuing to examine graphic footage emerging from Gaza following the temporary break in the ceasefire yesterday.
After the wave of strikes by Israel, which it says was retaliation for an attack on soldiers by Hamas in southern Gaza, we verified footage of impacts and their aftermath throughout the territory.
One of the first strikes was on a beachside cafe in Az-Zawayda, an area of central Gaza to the north of Deir al-Balah. Verified video showed bloodied people on the ground and being removed on stretchers, including at least two injured children.
A subsequent strike was on a sports field in Nuseirat, also in central Gaza. Videos showed a dismembered body being covered with a sheet and a bloodied child being rushed from the scene.
Multiple videos, filmed from both Gaza and Israel, showed smoke plumes rising over areas east of Khan Younis, around Abasan al-Kabira in the south of Gaza.
Later in the day, we verified footage of the aftermath of a strike behind Gaza City’s al-Shifa hospital, as well several videos of injured people arriving to hospitals both in the north and south of the Strip.
There is more video from reported strikes in Bureij, Nuseirat and Az-Zawayda in central Gaza and from Sheikh Radwan in Gaza City. We are still working on corroborating that footage.
