The Israeli military offensive ‘Operation Protective Edge’ launched on 8 July 2014, killing and injuring thousands of civilians. This bloody seven-week escalation of the conflict wreaked further havoc, punishment and devastation on Gaza's already blockaded population, with Gaza’s children caught in the crossfire – 551 were killed. One year on from Operation Protective Edge, we’ve launched a new digital mapping tool to help investigate human rights violations during the conflict. The Gaza Platform aims to uncover the truth about the attacks and serve as evidence of war crimes. Using forensic architecture, satellite imagery, broadcast news and citizen-generated footage during the 50 days of the conflict, we’ve built a definitive picture of what happened minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day.
