One of the earlier and most-viewed examples was an animation of Al Shifa Hospital, published in October 2023.

The “underground command room” was recycled from a 2022 IDF animation of an UNRWA school in Tel Al-Hawa; the street above was built from prefab @kb-3d.bsky.social storefronts

Hubert's assets, created as decorations for cyberpunk cityscapes, are used especially widely in animations that the IDF released during their strikes on Iran in June.

Ripped assets from Hubert are shown here in stills from IDF animations, with blue highlights:

Disinformation, now in 3D.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

As someone who works with satellite and 3D imagery, this project reinforced how crucial it is to question what’s rendered as truth.

Keep an eye out for some follow ups in different mediums looking ahead

The TikTok outlines that a specific goal of these animations is to multiply their reach by cultivating secondary coverage

And indeed, dozens of major outlets like BBC, CNN and Sky News have aired them, in part or in full, often without context

Dette bør en norsk journalist snappe opp fort som fy. IDFs avanserte rekognoseringfilmer viser seg å være satt sammen av 3-d animasjoner hentet fra blant annet steampunk kunstnere og skotske museer. Det er falskt.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

I følge Freedom Flotilla Coalition angriper nå Israel skipet The Conscience med et militærhelikopter. Det er skipet med over 100 internasjonale helsearbeidere og journalister på. Og min onkel, barnevernspedagogen og familiterapeuten fra Trondheim, som vanligvis jobber i Spesialisthelsetjenesten.

Da har IDF startet kidnappingen av den andre flotillaen på vei med nødhjelp, mat, journalister og helsearbeidere på vei til Gaza - og onkel.

Det er den draumen me ber på, at Greta Thunberg på fredag skal få Nobels fredspris, og at israelerne pent må la henne gi de første intervjuene på vei ut av en av fangeleirene deres.
