Visual evidence and internal communications show that before the strike on World Central Kitchen, multiple aid operations and local staff shelters in Gaza had come under Israeli fire — even after the I.D.F. was notified of the locations and logged them as humanitarian sites.…
When everyone else was playing checkers (casting from the beach), this dude was playing chess (using a drone to drop bait and line 2000ft offshore)
A video released by the Houthis yesterday showed chunks of a downed MQ-9A ER Reaper drone. Analysis of the video of the wreckage shows that the drone carried another example of the mystery pod that have appeared in Japan, Syria, Kuwait, and Romania, with a few changes. 1/2

The Biden admin has hailed its efforts to restrict Iran's oil revenue — and its ability to fund proxy militias. But lax government oversight allowed deceptive tankers to move $2.8 billion worth of oil, all with American insurance. Our visual investigation: nyti.ms/3I0dQOr
"They told us to go south. We went south. We still haven't found any safety." Our visual investigation found Israel routinely used one of its largest bombs in areas it ordered Gaza’s civilians to move for safety. nytimes.com/video/world/10…
Our investigation into the Oct. 13 strike that killed our beloved Issam Abdallah, & wounded 6 other journalists, has found an Israeli tank fired 2x at them, with munition produced by Israel, from within Israel. The Israeli military killed Issam Abdallah. reuters.com/graphics/ISRAE…

Folks, I am delighted to announce that I've joined @CNA_org as an associate research analyst. Looking forward to learning from a terrific group of people!
Some personal news: I’ll be leaving Scripps News at the end of May. Had a good 10-year run there doing all sorts of coverage, though I’m most proud of the open source reporting I’ve been fortunate to work on over the last five years. More of that to come! 🔎
Looks like I'm the only graduate of a Big 12 school* at the NY Times**! * UT Austin doesn't count, they're traitors ** This is a relatively narrow data set within parts of the newsroom -- it doesn't take into account the many-many people at the Times without bios/reporter pages
Using the new expanded bios the Times posted for 460 of its journalists last month, I dug into the colleges they attended. I was able to find the alma maters of 449 of them. The most common: 1. Yale 2. Columbia 3. Harvard 6 of the top 8 are Ivy League. niemanlab.org/2024/02/is-the…
Truly hope Google isn't retiring filetype: searches, as some have suggested (x.com/jeroenbosman/s…). Literally showed my students how to use this a couple of weeks ago, and last week they found great stuff for an assignment applying filetype:pdf searches. Today, it didn't work.
BREAKING: filetype operator in Google seems retired. New workaround to search just for documents: site:* filetype:[filetype u want to search] Or combine it with site: or inurl: and a specific url. Bing and others currently still support filetype. Spread the word! #osint
A video released by the Houthis yesterday showed chunks of a downed MQ-9A ER Reaper drone. Analysis of the video of the wreckage shows that the drone carried another example of the mystery pod that have appeared in Japan, Syria, Kuwait, and Romania, with a few changes. 1/2
An update to this one from last year. A couple folks brought a series of images to my attention showing a blurred pod on board an MQ-9A in Kuwait a few days ago. An image set detailing the same training exercise but in July has what is most likely the same pod, unblurred.
The Biden admin has hailed its efforts to restrict Iran's oil revenue — and its ability to fund proxy militias. But lax government oversight allowed deceptive tankers to move $2.8 billion worth of oil, all with American insurance. Our visual investigation: nyti.ms/3I0dQOr
New: Our analysis of social media videos found Israeli soldiers filming themselves in Gaza destroying civilian property, including a number of homes. We focused on combat engineers, who used D9 bulldozers and explosives to destroy civilian buildings. nytimes.com/2024/02/06/wor…
P.S. (#2): if anyone is interested in detailed math used for the computational geolocation above let me know. If there is enough interest I may do a separate technical write up on that.

This piece was built so well -- I've been staring at recent satellite imagery of northern Gaza nonstop the last week, and it's hard to understate the devastation in the area (especially the agricultural infrastructure). The scrolling @planet satellite image here shows the scope.

I left Gaza yesturday. My heart and my soul are still there with my patients. I remember their names and their wounds. I will fight until they receive the treatment they need and the justice they deserve. My heart is broken in ways I never knew was possible.
Parts of an MQ-9A Extended Range Reaper washed ashore on the coast of Somaliland, likely the result of the recent shoot-down by Houthis in Yemen. These parts can be matched to stabilizers, external fuel tank, and a mystery pod that has appeared in Syria, Romania, Japan, & Kuwait.
#Somalia / #USA / #Yemen / #Palestine / #Israel 🇸🇴🇺🇸🇾🇪🇵🇸🇮🇱: #Somaliland Cost Guard discovered parts of a UAV near Zeila (Saylac) Coast. The drone appears to be an MQ-9 Reaper UAV belonging to US Forces, which was shot down by Ansar Allah (#Houthis).
Several Israeli shells hit Al Shifa Hospital on Friday during intense fighting in Gaza. Seven people were killed in at least four strikes on different parts of the sprawling complex. Latest with @NeilCollier. 🧵 nytimes.com/2023/11/14/wor…
