Israeli war on Gaza devastates 44 Gaza cemeteries, satellite analysis reveals

An investigation by Al Jazeera’s Sanad verification unit, using satellite imagery, has exposed the extensive destruction of 44 cemeteries across Gaza during Israel’s military offensive.

The analysis, comparing pre-war images with those up to 14 February, alongside data from the Palestinian Ministry of Religious Affairs, confirms widespread damage, both partial and total, to burial sites.  

The findings also highlight the establishment of mass graves and temporary cemeteries to accommodate the overwhelming number of casualties.

This grim reality underscores the scale of devastation inflicted by Israel’s war, which has not only claimed lives but also desecrated graveyards.
