US-made munitions have played a significant role in Israeli operations in Gaza. Bellingcat has collated scores of incidents where the remnants of US-made munitions have been found in the aftermath of Israeli strikes over two years of war in Gaza. This dataset, while only identifying a small fraction of the US weaponry that has been deployed by Israel during this period, provides new insight into a number of deadly strikes where significant civilian harm was recorded. https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/01/30/made-in-the-usa-how-american-built-weapons-have-wrought-destruction-in-gaza/?utm_source=mastodon

When big news breaks, misinformation spreads fast. It’s often hard to filter fact from fiction. Our 2024 guide remains relevant today, outlining what to look out for when it comes to misleading analysis. https://www.bellingcat.com/resources/2024/04/25/oshit-seven-deadly-sins-of-bad-open-source-research/

War doesn’t just destroy buildings—it erases places where children learn, play, and grow. Bellingcat and journalists from Agence France-Presse bureaus in Paris and Kyiv take a look at some of the lost spaces of youth in Ukraine, analysing open source data and speaking to young people growing up in the country. https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/12/17/how-russias-invasion-is-impacting-ukraines-youth/?utm_source=mastodon

We found 23 new apartment complexes built on Mariupol’s ruins, now sold on Russian sites to Russian families — while Ukrainians fight to reclaim their homes.

Mariupol residents are seeing their homes demolished and resold. Researcher Ilvija Bruge breaks down her investigation in our latest Bellingchat Premium episode on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/posts/how-mariupols-144547855

How does war reshape ecosystems? What gets damaged, lost, or overlooked? Yesterday we went into a deep dive with the Conflict and Environment Observatory @ceobs . Listen back by searching 'Stage Talks with Bellingcat': https://rss.com/podcasts/bellingcatstagetalk/2340901

War doesn’t just devastate societies—it leaves lasting scars on the environment.
Later today, the team at the Conflict and Environment Observatory joins us to discuss the hidden ecological costs of conflict, demonstrating how open-source data can lead to accountability. Join us live at 5pm CET/11am EST on the link below👇 https://discord.gg/4W8uaZzJ?event=1440017462702903388

Tomorrow, our researcher Kolina Koltai will take on the latest Bellingcat Open Source Challenges. Can she identify the real-world locations depicted in the 3D models? Join us at 5PM CET to find out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZNPhr4s9j8

Streets have been renamed, Ukrainian monuments removed, and murals painted over. Bellingcat investigates how apartment blocks in the Ukrainian port city of Mariupol have been demolished to make way for a new Russian suburban utopia… https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-europe/2025/11/14/building-on-ruins-the-russification-of-mariupol-one-apartment-block-at-a-time/?utm_source=mastodon

How do you track vessels with shady ownership structures and a suspicious tendency to turn off their tracking signals? This week's Stage Talk guest Christian Panton built a resource to help monitor ships that require further investigation.

It is a good time to learn how to find accurate information online. We’re offering virtual training sessions over the month of October, teaching you Bellingcat’s investigative techniques…

In June last year, Bellingcat assessed the loss of cultural heritage sites in Gaza due to the conflict. Many more sites have now been impacted since this report. In February 2025 the World Bank reported that fifty-three percent of heritage sites were damaged or destroyed. https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2024/06/26/gaza-israel-destroy-destruction-damage-cultural-history-heritage-archaeology-conflict-war/

On Sunday the 13-storey al-Kawthar building, a temporary warehouse for artefacts found in Gaza, was hit. The archeologist caretakers told the BBC they had to scramble to evacuate the artefacts. But they said that some items were still inside when the building was destroyed: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-e26c7357-09f8-42af-81ae-42cbaf04b593

Another historical site about 2km away from Tell Ali Muntar, the Aybaki Mosque, was also recently hit in an Israeli airstrike on September 16. This video shows the strike and aftermath on the 13th century mosque. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/M0NbUwpyXhY

The Planet imagery shows that the nearby Tell Ali Muntar cemetery has also been partially cleared as well. In the most recent image from September 15, there's a tank parked overlooking it at the time of capture.
