The largest aid flotilla in history has been attacked twice in two days whilst in port in Tunisia. Open source analysis suggests an incendiary munition is to blame, contradicting official statements. www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/09...

The Guardian has today printed the names, and where possible, images, of all the media workers killed in Gaza, as part of an international day of action involving more than 150 media organisations.

No. It's meant for targeted archiving and we cover that in the article see

Bellingcat has just launched a major new update to our Auto Archiver tool, simplifying the process of archiving online content for individuals or teams.

Hi Charlie, I'm one of the developers and I'll say that if you have a fixed set of pages that is very possible with a cronjob and a CSV file with the URLs. If you actually want to crawl the website (jump around links and find new pages) I'd recommend using other software, I like scrapy.org for that!

Nothing is permanent on social media. Users deleting their posts or webpages can lead to the erasure of a trail of evidence that may be crucial to your investigations. But how do you keep that data? We've updated our Auto Archiver tool to make archiving easier... www.bellingcat.com/resources/20...

This report is a 200+ pages masterclass on how ingenuity plays a role in open source investigations.

TLDR: Collect evidence of munition remnants > estimate direction of origin > overlay to know where to look for launch systems > identify military units > trace back chain of command.

After watching dozens of ICE raid/arrest videos it's clear how smartphones change the dynamics in these situations: It's why faces are covered, why operations are fast-in/fast-out, and in many cases why agents show restraint.
> Filming and knowing your rights is crucial to a balanced power dynamic.

We also released the code for the UI and API that Bellingcat uses internally, if you are an organisation with similar archiving needs you can deploy them and give easy access to your entire team.
