Since the start of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza in October 2023, Forensic Architecture has been collecting data related to attacks against civilians and the destruction of civilian infrastructure by the Israeli military. Our analysis of this conduct reveals the near-total destruction of civilian life in Gaza. We have also collected and analysed evacuation orders issued by the Israeli military directing Palestinian civilians to areas of Gaza designated as ‘safe’. These orders have resulted in the repeated, large-scale displacement of the Palestinian population across Gaza, often to areas which subsequently came under Israeli attack.

Our findings indicate that Israel’s military campaign in Gaza is organised, systematic, and intended to destroy conditions of life and life-sustaining infrastructure.

To this end, ‘A Cartography of Genocide’ platform and accompanying report develops a comprehensive mapping of military conduct in Gaza since 7 October 2023. It deploys a range of methods to observe the ways in which Israel’s military operations engendered widespread harm and suggests how these observations might inform broader assessments of Israel’s military conduct during this period.
