In the upcoming documentary "In Real Life: A Hidden War" we analyse satellite imagery that shows an expansion of Israeli outposts, settlements and roads in the West Bank. Watch the full documentary Sunday 8pm ET on @scrippsnews.
The value of OSINT is finding evidence-based fact. The scientific method transparently applied to journalistic questions. Recent errors by major newsrooms & sloppy posters risk diminishing the form. A timely list of bad practices by @bellingcat: bellingcat.com/resources/2024…

7K Followers 19 Following Official account of Joint International Criminal Investigation Team MH17As someone who used to work in OSINT, it pains me to see people misrepresenting unconfirmed & emotionally charged posts as “OSINT” research. Thanks to @bellingcat for this reminder about the common mistakes & best practices in the field.
In recent years the profile and credibility of open source research has grown. It seems everybody’s doing it – but not necessarily well. Learning to recognise these common mistakes will allow you to judge the quality of open source research: bellingcat.com/resources/2024…
Had a chance to look over some of the newer @planet imagery from the past week. As @AricToler and @trbrtc have pointed out, there's a new large tent camp set up just west of Khan Yunis at 31.345836, 34.273261. Between April 16 and April 23, about 500 tents have gone up.
Earth’s landscapes are covered in unique patterns. But finding meaningful ones—like certain shapes or letters of the alphabet—is largely a matter of luck. So we developed an image-text search prototype to make the process easier. Stay tuned for more details… 👀@GoogleDoodles
we mapped tents in Rafah by applying machine learning to high resolution satellite imagery from @planet. we also show damaged buildings from analysis done by @coreymaps and @JamonVDH. 🛰️ read here 🎁: bloomberg.com/graphics/2024-… a small thread with some model specifics 🧵

Struggling to stop the spread of lies online? The answer may be all in the mind. 🧠 During our #IJF24 panel, experts unpacked the idea of 'prebunking', explaining how deeper audience understanding could be key to tackling disinformation: bit.ly/3Jt9JuS @journalismfest

Another fake BBC video citing Bellingcat is doing the rounds on Russian Telegram. This time claiming Zelensky’s chief of staff Andriy Yermak paid 27m dollars to be included in Time 100 list. There have been a few of these BBC/Bellingcat anti-Ukraine fakes in the past months.
A mass fake-news campaign with forged "BBC" videos has been launched claiming falsely that @bellingcat has found that Andrey Yermak paid for being included in the @TIME list of influential people. Interestingly, the campaign also tries to discredit @yulia_navalnaya appearing on…
