Reports of a Syrian man being shot dead at the #Evros / Meriç river border were denounced as fake news by the Greek government. Our newest study suggests otherwise. vimeo.com/395567226

In June 2020, Ahmad Erekat was shot dead by Israeli officers after his car crashed into a checkpoint in the occupied West Bank. FA worked w/ Al-Haq الحق to investigate the crash, use of lethal force, denial of medical aid and degrading treatment of his body forensic-architecture.org/investigation/…

In anticipation of the upcoming 73rd anniversary of Al-Nakba, and as part of our solidarity with Palestinian colleagues and protesters, Forensic Architecture is documenting the ethnic cleansing of #SheikhJarrah as part of the ongoing #Nakba

Friends and comrades in Gaza are telling us about new kinds of destruction. Ferocious Israeli attacks weaponising the elements above and below Palestinian homes and commercial areas, producing human-made natural disasters -- targeted "earth-quakes" and "air-quakes"

Israeli-made air-quakes: On 15 May, Israel bombed the largest pesticide storage facility in Beit Lahiya, producing an environmental disaster with massive clouds of toxic fumes dispersing with the wind into residential areas as far as Jabaliya refugee camp.

In red, Palestinian Centre for Human Rights - PCHR data of Israeli attacks on public buildings in Gaza municipality. In blue Al-Mezan الميزان records of similar attacks in 2014. In 11-days the occupation forces have bombed the center of Gaza City harder than the 53-days military operation of 2014.

Forensic Architecture stands with Al-Haq الحق Defense for Children Addameer – الضمير Union of Palestinian Women's Committees Union of Agricultural Work Committees and the Bisan Center against Israel's complete inversion of logic: these civil society organisations are exposing state terror.

We mourn the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh, one of Palestine's leading journalists. Her killing exemplifies the very same acts of violence and repression committed by Israel against Palestinians that she reported on daily.

FA is proud to announce the launch of the new Al-Haq الحق FA Investigation Unit based in Ramallah. This pioneering unit employs FA’s methods to document violations of the Israeli occupation, and aims to produce a new generation of Palestinian-led visual investigations.

Working with activists and lawyers in Jerusalem, we constructed an interactive urban narrative explaining the policies and practices through which Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah are being forcibly displaced, and their struggle with the Israeli courts and settler groups.

NEW Investigation by FA and Al-Haq الحق's FAI Unit into the 11 May extrajudicial killing of Shireen Abu Akleh uses previously unseen footage provided by قناة الجزيرة and advanced spatial and audio analysis to reveal conclusive evidence. Full investigation: bit.ly/3SiDZLh 1/9

On 1 April, the IOF shot & killed Mohammad Al-Osaibi inside Al-Aqsa compound in Jerusalem. Our analysis challenges IOF claims that the incident was not captured by any of the dozens of cameras in Al-Aqsa. As occupying power, Israel is liable & must release all additional footage.

في 1 أبريل، قتلت قوات الاحتلال الإسرائيلي الشاب محمد العصيبي داخل المسجد الأقصى. يتحدى تحليلنا مزاعم قوات الاحتلال أن الحادثة لم يتم تصويرها بأي من عشرات الكاميرات الموزعة في #الأقصى. بصفتها قوة محتلة، على إسرائيل نشر جميع تسجيلات كاميرات المراقبة.

تحقيقنا عن #الطنطورة يكشف عن أدلة جديدة حول المجازر التي ارتكبتها القوات الإسرائيلية في القرية الفلسطينية بعد احتلالها في مايو 1948. يحدد تقريرنا موقعين بارزين لمقابر جماعية - أحدهما تم التعرف عليه حديثًا. youtube.com/watch?v=IJ7YMD…

من خلال مطابقة الخرائط والصور الارشيفية و الجوية، وشهادات أهل القرية، ورسومات من الذاكرة، وشهادة جديدة من عدنان يحيى، أحد ناجي #الطنطورة، أعدنا بناء القرية بتقنية ثلاثية الأبعاد وحددنا موقعين آخرين محتملين للمقابر الجماعية.

أنشأنا أيضًا منصة تفاعلية تضع هذه المواد ضمن إعادة بناء ثلاثية الأبعاد لقرية #الطنطورة ، مما يسمح للزوار بتتبع التغييرات التي طرأت على القرية عقب احتلالها، والاستماع لشهادات الناجين بالعلاقة مع مواقع الإعدامات والمقابر الجماعية. tantura.forensic-architecture.org

NEW INVESTIGATION: Since 7 Oct 23, the Israeli army has weaponised humanitarian measures such as ‘evacuation orders’, ‘safe routes’ & ‘safe zones’ to support their military operations & facilitate the mass displacement of Palestinians. View the platform: gaza.forensic-architecture.org/displacement
