Airstrikes Devastate Northern Gaza

Satellite images show the destruction of areas of northern Gaza after Israeli airstrikes.

Beit Hanoun, Gaza Strip: Satellite images taken before and after Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip show the widespread destruction caused by the attacks. The images, taken by Maxar Technologies, show four- and five-story buildings in the Izbat Beit Hanoun neighborhood in various states of collapse. Huge chunks are missing from some, others are broken in half, and two large complexes lie in piles of rubble.

Widespread destruction

The pattern of destruction in the Al Karameh neighborhood can be traced by a widespread pattern the color of ash. Tightly packed streets in Beit Hanoun look obliterated, with a rare white structure standing out in the gray wasteland.

Thousands of airstrikes

Israel has carried out thousands of airstrikes since the war erupted on Oct. 7 following a cross-border raid that killed 1,400 people in Israel and took over 200 others hostage. Palestinian health officials say over 7,000 people in Gaza have been killed since the fighting erupted.

Full extent of damage unknown

With the airstrikes continuing around the clock, the full extent of the damage remains unknown. The satellite photos provide a glimpse of the devastation, particularly in the hard-hit northern Gaza Strip.

The satellite images of the destruction in Gaza are a reminder of the devastating impact of war. The attacks have caused widespread death and destruction, and the full extent of the damage is still being assessed. The images are a powerful reminder of the need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
