Looks like the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR)'s YouTube account was terminated by YouTube. PCHR was one of three organizations sanctioned by the US about a month ago as part of the sanctions against the ICC.

1/ In recent months, we began documenting remnants of an unknown Israeli munition being used in Gaza. Its use has allegedly resulted in civilian casualties. To date, Israel has not publicly declared the munition’s existence.

Türkiye announced the new "Hayalet" series of 2,000-pound bombs. These bombs look extremely similar to the American BLU-109 and BLU-116.
A penetration test video shows the NEB-1, which appears to be a copy of the American BLU-116, utilizing the same outer shroud/smaller diameter bomb technology.

US Hellfire missile remnant found after this strike. The data plate is clearly visible in this video, including DODIC and Lot number. DODIC, "PU72" indicates that this was the AGM-114K-2 variant of the Hellfire. Lot number "MGP12G..." indicates this was made by Lockheed Martin (MGP) in July 2012.

The Guardian published photos of a US JDAM bomb guidance kit tail section/thermal battery found after the strike on the Al-Baqa cafe in Gaza that killed between 24 and 36 people. The crater is consistent with a 500-pound bomb (Mk-82), which is paired with some variants of the JDAM.

First visual evidence of a Romach/Accular 122mm or Bar missile I've seen in Gaza. These are 122mm rockets that have been upgraded with guidance. This is likely the Bar, as it is an upgrade over the Romach and has improved accuracy.
