Google Maps satellite imagery showing extensive destruction across Gaza circulated widely on social media and in news articles this week. The images depict what appear to be entire neighbourhoods reduced to rubble, including areas in the southern city of Rafah, according to Bellingcat.
Claims about a Google imagery update prompted the wide sharing of the photographs across social media platforms and in news reporting.
