We welcome the court’s decision, which ends years of suffering for these three young men. Our commitment remains strong in support of the legal team as they continue to seek justice for the three that have yet to be exonerated. #MoriaTrialWatch #JusticeForMoria6

With Forensis, we contributed to the trial as expert witnesses, reconstructing the spread of the fire using videos captured on the night. Our findings contradict the sole witness testimony that originally led to the arrest and conviction of the Moria 6. vimeo.com/802660147

For decades, Israel has routinely destroyed the dense and winding fabric of Palestinian camps and neighbourhoods, which gave Palestinians an advantage that offset the occupier’s technological capabilities. By contrast, the housing blocks proposed in Egypt's plan can be easily invaded and monitored.

(3) Raid Routes: Over the last 17 months, we identified 13 raid routes created by Israel, extending into the Gaza Strip from Israeli bases east of the perimeter. The Egyptian master plan includes provisions for expanding these routes to the sea, allowing Israel the means to invade and bisect Gaza.

(2) Security corridors: Since October 2023, Israel has constructed a 6km-wide impenetrable barrier along Wadi Gaza and expanded the buffer zone along the border with Egypt. The Egyptian master plan incorporates this de facto reality.

(1) Buffer Zone: Since October 2023, Israel has destroyed all structures within 1-1.5km of the Gaza perimeter. Egypt's plan effectively endorses the erasure of Palestinian neighbourhoods within this zone, rezoning them for agricultural, investment, and industrial purposes.

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.

Our ongoing research into the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian villages understands the Nakba not only as a historical event, but also an ongoing strategy of colonial erasure that Israel continues to implement today.

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.

Israel’s widespread attacks on the fishing and agricultural sectors, combined with the repeated targeting of foreign aid, has had a compounding effect, driving mass food scarcity and famine. Our findings: forensic-architecture.org/investigatio...

Our new report documents the port’s destruction, the latest chapter in a decades-long history of violent Israeli siege of Gaza’s sea space. Full report: content.forensic-architecture.org/wp-content/u...

FA was commissioned to evidence the destruction of two fishing vessels belonging to the Al-Hassi family. We established a timeline of Israeli attacks on the port’s sea wall and the vessels docked there. Read the investigation: forensic-architecture.org/investigatio...
