With the ceasefire between Hamas and the Israeli occupation forces coming into effect on Sunday, January 19, 2025, after 15 months since the outbreak of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the Israeli occupation forces began implementing a series of military measures at the Rafah crossing from the Palestinian side. Satellite images revealed the Israeli army building earthworks and military facilities near the crossing gate.
During the period from January 19 to 24, 2025, the occupation forces established large earthworks around the Rafah crossing gate to monitor the movement of goods entering and exiting through the crossing. Satellite images show the developments that the area witnessed during this period.
Satellite images taken on January 24, 2025, obtained by ‘Taqassy’ through the “Sentinel-Hub” platform, also revealed the completion of the construction of earthworks and the establishment of new military facilities within the previously empty area, as shown in the images.
