A new mass grave has been discovered at al-Shifa Hospital where a two-week siege by the Israeli army has turned the facility into a graveyard and put what was once Gaza’s largest medical complex out of service.

I hope this is being documented somehow.
Even if it takes 40 years for the perpetrators of these war crimes to be brought to justice, as in some other cases, it still should happen.
We live in a world where everyone has a video camera in their pockets. The IDF can’t break or confiscate all of them. It is being documented and it has all been documented.
I mean, to the standards required for a court of law (e.g. forensic proof that these were patients) but I take your point.
The worst thing is the advent of AI image generation. Until now, faking a photo took a lot of skilled effort to do well. Holocaust deniers get shot down fairly easily due to the diligent documentation done at the time. One of the generals even ordered it despite protests (it slowed down giving aid). He knew that future generations wouldn’t believe the level we can sink too.
Now (or in the near future) generating near flawless fakes will be easy. A photograph of a war crime will be no more believable than a scene from an action movie. We’ll likely find work around, but until then, we are in a dead zone on reliability of images.
Yes if I were documenting this I would want hours of witness testimony, forensics, etc.
