Mamdani’s victory means so much — including the repudiation of Islamophobic attacks and weaponization of antisemitism.

"In the immediate aftermath of Donald Trump’s announcement that Hamas and Israel had signed off on an agreement to stop the fighting, the Israeli military launched an arson spree, setting fire to civilian infrastructure, including the destruction of an essential sanitation plant in Gaza City."

This aerial image from the 1960s shows that the 'yellow line' of Israel's redeployment in Gaza is roughly matching with the border of the area's coastal sand dune, leaving Gaza without the absolute majority of its agricultural areas on the fertile soils in the east. @forensicarchi.bsky.social

It's genuinely shocking how little of Rafah is left. An ancient city that had a pre-war population of ~200k, forced to take over 1,000,000 refugees from Gaza City and Khan Younis, then completely levelled for the crime of being the only city in Gaza with an escape route.

Even as IDF units halt their combat operations, the ceasefire doesn't prohibit them from continuing demolition operations in the areas they still control. So within the roughly 55 percent of the strip they still control, we can expect the razing of Khan Younis, for example, to continue.

Today's ceasefire withdrawal leaves the IDF in control of a large proportion of Gaza's former urban areas (outlined in white)—all of Rafah; most of Khan Younis; Beit Hanoun; and Gaza City's Shejaiya neighborhood. Areas where we know nearly all buildings have been demolished are shaded black.

Khan Younis Almost Destroyed According to the mayor, 85% of buildings in this large city in the southern Gaza Strip have been destroyed. He estimates that approximately 400,000 tons of rubble will need to be removed

This is what is left of Khan Younis, southern Gaza.
