The Killings They Tweeted - An Airwars Investigation

In a nine-month investigation, the Airwars Investigation Unit reviewed hundreds of clips of airstrikes in Gaza released by the Israeli military.

By cross-matching these with the Airwars archive of geolocated civilian harm, the team identified 17 civilian harm incidents which the IDF itself had tweeted footage of. In these incidents alone, more than 400 civilians were killed.
