Israel has demolished thousands of buildings across Gaza since ending the ceasefire with Hamas in March. Satellite images and verified videos reveal extensive, deliberate destruction, including intact homes, schools, and mosques. Legal experts suggest these actions may constitute war crimes under international law. Israel claims the demolitions target Hamas infrastructure hidden in civilian areas, but many affected zones lie deep within Gaza. Humanitarian law experts argue that destroying entire neighborhoods without strict military necessity violates the Geneva Conventions and risks long-term harm to civilians.
