Recent analysis of satellite imagery reveals extensive destruction in Gaza, with estimates indicating that between 50% to 62% of all buildings have been damaged or destroyed following the Israeli offensive launched after the October 7 attack. The Guardian's analysis, using open source evidence, has analyzed the level of destruction, highlighting a significant impact on the region's infrastructure. Experts estimate that between 142,900 and 176,900 buildings have been affected. The damage, attributed to airstrikes, fighting, and large controlled demolitions by Israel, has led to the displacement of 1.9 million people and has been described by experts as 'domicide'—the intentional destruction of homes to prevent displaced people from returning. Additionally, reports from The Telegraph and the Associated Press suggest that Israel is accused of clearing a 1km “buffer zone” inside the Gaza Strip through kilometer-deep demolition operations, potentially shrinking the size of the Palestinian territory and establishing a new security border.
