On 6 June 2025 Amnesty International publishes a satellite-evidence report on Khuza'a, a town of roughly 11,000 people in southern Gaza. Comparing imagery from January, March and May 2025, Amnesty's evidence lab concludes that more than 90% of Khuza'a's built structures have been levelled, and that the destruction took place after the Israeli forces had already withdrawn frontline units — that is, in conditions Amnesty describes as deliberate, post-combat demolition.
The report is only possible because some commercial imagery of southern Gaza is still being released, late and at lower resolution, into the commercial market. It also becomes a live counter-argument to operator self-censorship: when imagery does reach the public, it is the single most decisive piece of evidence in war-crimes investigations, and the only one no party to the conflict can fully suppress.
