New satellite images of Gaza show the extent of the destruction caused by Israel's intense aerial bombardment of the territory over the past three weeks.

The pictures, released by Maxar Technologies, compare detailed images captured from space earlier this week with images from before the recent conflict began.

They show three areas in the north of Gaza where aerial attacks have left dozens of tower blocks completely destroyed or badly damaged as well as large areas of tightly packed buildings reduced to piles of grey rubble.

It’s a start. Lather, rinse, repeat, lather, rinse …………………

BRILLIANT !

[Nervous Tick]

>> I take it we’re supposed to feel bad about this?

Well, I have to admit I’m disappointed. I hoped the pictures would show deep craters and totally obliterated buildings over many square miles. For the most part, the “destruction” just looks like small areas covered in gray ash from the few buildings they precisely destroyed.

[Nervous Tick]

LOL! See your doctor...

BBC has been busy with photo shop it appears and doing a poor job of it. The destruction of individual buildings is real. It is obvious they greyed areas all around the destroyed buildings to make it appear the whole area was destroyed.

Note: The dust from buildings destroyed and collapsed spreads out and gradually thins as one is further from the explosion. This is not the case in the BBC photos. The dust patterns stop abruptly on road boundaries and field boundaries.

BBC lies as does our media.

It’s a start.

After the war is over, Israel should set up camps for the refugees. Everyone will live in camps. And they'll get 3 meals a day. They'll have to get the Chinese Communist Party involved and restrict each family to one child.

Otherwise, they'll rebuild and attack Israel just like we saw on 10/7. They'll continue to come up with new tactics. Next time, they'll use WMDs smuggled in from Iran.

Despite insignificant personnel actions, the whole world now knows:

1. BBC is antisemitic;
2. BBC is pro-Hamas.

Nuff said.

Looks like a good start.

The Brit’s deserve what they have coming from the Mohammedans. Hope they all get their heads chopped off.

They are free to live where their work brings them.

Only because western governmets are corrupt and do not enforce the will of their citizens. No one wants any more immigration it the USA, legal or illegal.

[central_va]

Neutron bombs would kill the terrorists and leave the bldgs standing.

Here is another way to eradicate the Gazan vermin:

[MeanWestTexan]

The last stockpiles of phosgene were destroyed a decade ago.

And Jewish people just aren’t going to gas anyone, for obvious reasons.

[central_va]

No, the reasons are not obvious. The Israelis have a moral OBLIGATION and a right to use ANY means necessary against terrorists army. Gas, nukes and even bio.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

What I see in those Gaza photos is pinpoint, precision attacks and the people were given weeks of advance notice to leave.

Unlike Ukraine.

[bgill]

Interesting how the grey color follows the street and the trees were spared.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Billions and billions of aid money went to building all those tunnels and they have NO productive use other than killing Jews in Israel. All the caterwauling about lack of aid is a lie. They squandered all of it.

[AlaskaErik]

Gaza needs to look like Berlin on May 8, 1945.

I’m having a cheeseburger for lunch.
