Satellite images from 19 January reveal ongoing destruction of urban and civilian infrastructure in Rafah and in proximity to the Netzarim Corridor, even as the Israeli military was reportedly withdrawing from the latter area. Two UNWRA schools were among the destroyed facilities.

The majority of attacks on civilians that we identified were concentrated in Rafah, and along or in proximity to Salah al-Din and al-Rashid Roads, the two major arteries by which civilians were permitted to return to the north.

Until now, there was little documentation of the ethnic cleansing and destruction of al-Dawayima. Aerial images (1945-2024) reveal the systematic erasure of the village & gradual construction of present-day Israeli colonies of Karmei Katif, Amatzia & Bnei Dekalim, built over the village’s remains.

Central to our investigation were ‘memory maps’ of al-Dawayima produced by Mohammad Rajab Abu Khudra with the help of witnesses to the massacre. The survivors we interviewed used these maps to provide invaluable details about the Israeli attack and the village’s layout, aiding our reconstruction.

Palestinian survivors identified the location of the massacre as having taken place outside the ‘Tur al-Zagh' cave where civilians had fled as Israeli forces invaded. Using imagery, maps, and testimonies from former residents, we reconstructed al-Dawayima and Tur al-Zagh in 3D.
