A new satellite imagery analysis by Dr. He Yin of Kent State University shows that nearly all of Gaza's crops, tree cover and grassland have been damaged in Israel's invasion — devastation that some have said should be prosecuted as "ecocide."

I believe the Kaliningrad and St Petersburg (and more?) spoof-jammers have increased their reach significantly.

The area around Baltic Sea presently affected by electronic warfare directed at GNSS/GPS-receivers is enormous, larger than before.

Bbl with a timelapse. Nb, this is reach at 10-30k ft.

The death toll of Israel’s war in Gaza, according to this investigation, includes 266 entire nuclear families (two parents and their children) of three, 192 entire nuclear families of four, 171 of five, 121 of six, 50 of seven, 17 of eight, 10 of nine, 3 of eleven, and 1 of fourteen.

The death toll from the war already dwarfs the numbers killed in previous bouts of fighting between Israelis and Palestinians in Gaza over many decades.
