As the attacks on Palestinian journalists in Gaza by the Israeli military continues—at a scale unprecedented in modern history—over 40 journalists from 12 media organizations came together once more to investigate.

This investigation, conducted by Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism, is part of the Gaza Project, a collaboration involving over 40 journalists from 12 organizations coordinated by Forbidden Stories.

The investigation documents the massive destruction in the Gaza Strip through the first 3D reconstruction published since the start of the war, based on drone footage filmed by journalist Mahmoud al-Basos before he was killed by the Israeli army.
