A month into the war between Israel and Hamas, images of widespread destruction, craters and collapsed buildings have become commonplace.
Despite the photos and footage, a comprehensive survey of damaged properties on the ground is impossible at the moment, due to the ongoing conflict.
But new analysis of imagery from the European Space Agency's Sentinel-1 satellite allows for what researchers say is likely to be the most comprehensive look yet at the scale of damage in the Gaza Strip.
On Oct. 7, Hamas-led militants stormed from the Gaza Strip into Israel, killed 1,400 people and took more than 240 hostages, according to Israeli officials.
In response, Israel's military has launched near-continuous airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, killing over 10,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, and displacing nearly 1.5 million people, according to United Nations figures.

Bull Doze it and reclaim as captured territory in war. Build that buffer and screw the UN.
They are letting Russia do it, so take what you can get and expand the borders.

The leaders of Hamas sit in Qatar raking in $billions they are skimming off of aid to the people they are supposed to govern while making statements like “Israel can declare a cease fire, Hamas won’t “. What brave men they are! I hope none get paper cuts reading their financial statements.
