Sky News analysis of satellite radar suggests that Israel has intensified its bombing of southern Gaza in the last two weeks, despite ordering residents of the north to flee southwards.

For three weeks, Israel has been bombing the Gaza Strip as part of its war with Hamas. The two sides have published conflicting accounts of the toll taken by the airstrikes. Satellite data gives us an independent view. Every 12 days, NASA's Sentinel-1 satellite passes three times over the Gaza Strip, firing out radar waves and listening for their echo. Buildings typically bounce the signals right back, but rubble scatters them in all directions.

Sky News has verified the location of the footage, and satellite analysis shows that a row of buildings immediately behind the school sustained damage between 14 and 25 October. The Gaza Strip has been under aerial bombardment since Hamas’s 7 October attack, in which the Israeli government says more than 1,400 were killed. Israel says that Hamas is still holding more than 200 people hostage inside the enclave. Five British citizens remain missing.
