An important discussion about the role of satellite imagery in documenting what's happening! Thank you to France 24 for the coverage. 🙏
Trois spécialistes d'imagerie satellitaire, @BenDoBrown, @BenTzionMacales et Michael Pearce de @SoarAtlas ont tous indiqué à la rédaction des @Observateurs n'avoir jamais vu d'images récentes de Gaza détruite sur Apple Maps. A lire sur le site de @France24_fr

🚨U.S. forces have struck Iran’s Qeshm Island on November 2nd, according to U.S. officials via WSJ. The island sits at the Strait of Hormuz, a critical area for global oil supplies. These strikes come right as the U.S. midterm elections kick off, with reports of a possible post-election war escalation. We will have to wait and see what satellite imagery can tell us about this event when it's made available. #IranWar #MiddleEast #USA #qeshmisland

I made a tribute to the history of SAR with my new best friend, Sol 6.1. If you're curious about the history of SAR, this is a fun way to get a primer, and there's an out-of-this-world Easter egg hidden in there, too. sarsarsar.com/

Ultra-high-resolution imagery of Northern Gaza was briefly available to view on Israel's GovMap website. It's since been censored. Map 🗺👉: tinyurl.com/nfr6vr4 However, one of our community members @Nrg8000 preserved the map for anyone to explore, analyse, and compare for themselves.

Israel's GovMaps has now removed this imagery from its map platform. soaratlas.com/maps/asia-isra… Here it is, in the full original resolution. The fidelity of aerial imagery really highlights the complete destruction. Thanks to @SoarAtlas for hosting the imagery.
This shows the reality of Gaza in shocking resolution. I've scraped and exported all the imagery, totalling around 2.5 billion pixels at 13cm resolution, for safe keeping, in case they decide to take this imagery offline. If this happens, keep an eye out for access.

We recently added support for uploading GIF files on Soar, meaning you can share timelapses such as this. Check it out:👉 tinyurl.com/sex3txcu These are simple image files so they won't support a basemap, but can be zoomed and explored like any other map!

Gaza is one of the most restricted areas for high-res satellite imagery, making every clear look at the region significant. New high-resolution aerial imagery of northern Gaza from 2025 was left uncensored on Israel’s government GovMap website. The OSINT community was quick to spot it. 🔍 Shout out to @Stinky915846091 for his great work! The imagery reveals military outposts established by the IDF across parts of northern Gaza in great detail. Several maps are now available to explore here: 👇 tinyurl.com/3vhcykz6 #Gaza #Israel #MiddleEast #IDF
