Over 1,500 buildings demolished by Isreal in Gaza since ceasefire

More than 1,500 buildings have been demolished in areas of the Gaza Strip still under Israeli control since the ceasefire with Hamas took effect on Friday, October 10, according to an investigation by BBC Verify that analyzed recent satellite imagery.

The analysis, published on Wednesday, November 12, revealed



extensive destruction in eastern Gaza City, Jabalia, Khan Younis, and Rafah — areas where no renewed fighting has been reported since the truce began.

Satellite imagery captured in early November shows entire neighbourhoods levelled within weeks, indicating large-scale demolitions rather than combat-related damage.
