  "account": "An Israeli mapping service unintentionally revealed military installations and extensive destruction in northern Gaza on its official website. The high-resolution satellite imagery showed military bases and at least 11 Israeli army sites within the military buffer zone. This rare glimpse provided a rare view of the damage caused by Israeli forces in the war-torn territory. The imagery, dated from 2025, revealed widespread destruction in cities such as Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun, which have been heavily affected by the Israeli genocide that began in October 2023. While the images do not necessarily represent the current situation, they corroborate earlier reports documenting the scale of destruction and Israeli military presence in Gaza. Since the beginning of the genocide, Israel has killed over 73,928 Palestinians and wounded more than 175,030. Additionally, more than 80 percent of Gaza's buildings have been damaged or destroyed, including homes, schools, hospitals, and critical infrastructure.",
