Satellite imagery from the European Space Agency's freely available Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1 satellites is being delayed by 24 hours over Gaza and parts of the West Bank, Bellingcat reported. The investigative outlet's analysis found the postponement affects data that would otherwise be publicly accessible.
The reason for the delay was not specified in available reporting. The Sentinel satellites typically provide open-source imagery used by researchers, journalists, and monitors tracking developments across conflict zones.
