These assets have been used in IDF videos as recently as September 5, in an animation of the Mushtaha Tower in Gaza City, which was destroyed by Israeli airstrikes the same day

In this video the ground itself is a patch-work quilt of third-party scans of pavement & parking lots

Many of these “illustrations” aren’t based on verified intelligence at all.

Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.

Of all the horrors unleashed by Russia’s war, none cuts deeper than the abduction of children.

We will not rest until Ukraine’s children are home.

Two days after Alan Kurdi died, I bought this ferry ticket from Bodrum (the beach where his body washed up) to the Greek island of Kos for 155 Turkish lira - then about €20.

But Alan and his family had the wrong (Syrian) passports, so they spent €4,000 for space on a rubber dinghy that capsized.
