Before and after images show devastating destruction in Gaza

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
New satellite images reveal the extent of the destruction in the Gaza Strip after enduring more than two years of Israeli strikes during the war with Hamas.
Planet Labs PBC released the images on Tuesday, showing the Palestinian enclave before the Israel-Hamas war broke out on Oct. 7, 2023, and after the war began.
An estimated 192,812 – about 78% – of all structures in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed, according to a United Nations Satellite Center report from July.
Where homes, buildings and fields once stood in the southern city of Rafah, there were now craters and barren wastelands.
NETANYAHU, ON 2-YEAR MARK OF OCT. 7 HAMAS TERROR ATTACK, SAYS ISRAEL ‘NOT BROKEN,’ VOWS TO BRING HOSTAGES HOME
In Jabaliya, a city north of Gaza City, areas once green were turned to dust and dirt around decimated structures.
In northeast Gaza, the city Beit Hanoun appeared leveled. Before the war, tens of thousands of people were estimated to have lived in the city.
Israel’s retaliatory offensive has displaced around 90% of Gaza’s population of some 2 million, often multiple times, and restrictions on humanitarian aid have contributed to a severe hunger crisis, with experts saying Gaza City is experiencing famine.
The war has already killed over 67,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, part of the Hamas-run government, which does not say how many were civilians or combatants. It says women and children make up around half the dead.
REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK: ISRAELI HOSTAGE FAMILIES PLEAD, PEACE FALTERS, AND WAR GRINDS ON IN GAZA
The Israel-Hamas war began after Hamas terrorists launched a surprise attack on southern Israel, storming army bases, farming communities and an outdoor music festival, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, including women, children and older adults.
Hamas abducted 251 others, most of whom have since been released in ceasefires or other deals. Forty-eight hostages remain inside Gaza, around 20 of them believed by Israel to be alive.
Hamas has said it will release them only in exchange for a lasting ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal.

GOP senator demands FBI reveal if surveillance went beyond Jack Smith’s phone tracking

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., is demanding information from the FBI on whether she has been subjected to additional surveillance, following revelations that former Special Counsel Jack Smith tracked her phone calls, calling the action «one of the most serious infringements on the separation of powers in American history.»
Fox News Digital first reported Monday that Smith and his «Arctic Frost» team investigating Jan. 6 allegedly monitored the phone calls of Lummis and fellow GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and GOP Rep. Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania.
Fox News Digital exclusively obtained an FBI document stating the names of the lawmakers and that an FBI special agent on Smith’s team «conducted preliminary toll analysis» on the toll records associated with them.

An FBI official told Fox News Digital that Smith and his team were able to view which phone numbers the senators called, along with the location each call originated and where it was received.
Lummis is now seeking more information on the matter, writing a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel thanking him, President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi for their «transparency regarding the blatantly unconstitutional surveillance activities conducted on the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives by the Biden Administration during Operation Arctic Frost.»
«Your willingness to expose these abuses is crucial to getting the FBI and Department of Justice focused back on its core mission of delivering justice for all,» she wrote in the letter to Patel, obtained by Fox News Digital.
Lummis is now demanding all FBI and DOJ records that identify which members of the Biden administration «authorized or approved the surveillance of my phone records and communications.»

Lummis is asking for the names of all DOJ officials, FBI officials, and any White House officials involved; the entire data file collected on her, including all phone records and any recordings or transcripts of her private communications; any legal statutes cited to justify the data collection; and any individuals with whom the information was shared.
She is also requesting documentation of «any other surveillance conducted by the FBI or DOJ from January 20, 2021, through January 20, 2025, on me related to my official duties as a United States senator.»

«I believe that the surveillance of sitting United States Senators by the executive branch represents one of the most serious infringements on the separation of powers in American history,» she wrote. «It seriously impinges on both my civil rights and my constitutional duties as a legislator, especially since this surveillance was directly connected to core legislative activities protected by the Speech or Debate Clause of the United States Constitution.»
Lummis added that «the American people deserve to know the truth about how the Biden administration weaponized federal law enforcement against their elected representatives.»
«Those responsible will be held accountable,» she wrote. «Thank you for your prompt attention to these requests, and for restoring integrity to the FBI.»
«Arctic Frost» was opened inside the bureau on April 13, 2022. Smith was appointed as special counsel to take over the probe in November 2022.
An FBI official told Fox News Digital that «Arctic Frost» is a «prohibited case,» and that the review required officials to go «above and beyond in order to deliver on this promise of transparency.» The discovery is part of a broader, ongoing review.
«The American people deserve the truth, and under my leadership, they will have it,» Patel told Fox News Digital. «We promised accountability for those who weaponized law enforcement, and we will deliver it.»

HAWLEY RIPS JACK SMITH’S ‘BIDEN’S STASI’ PROBE, CALLS ALLEGED SPYING ‘ABUSE OF POWER BEYOND WATERGATE’
Patel added: «Under our watch, the FBI will never again be turned against the American people.»
«It is a disgrace that I have to stand on Capitol Hill and reveal this — that the FBI was once weaponized to track the private communications of U.S. lawmakers for political purposes,» FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who briefed senators on the matter, told Fox News Digital. «That era is over.»
Bongino added: «Under our leadership, the FBI will never again be used as a political weapon against the American people.»
Meanwhile, the FBI has terminated employees and disbanded the CR-15 squad. Patel announced the actions were taken in response to the revelation of the «baseless monitoring» of U.S. lawmakers.

«We are cleaning up a diseased temple three decades in the making — identifying the rot, removing those who weaponized law enforcement for political purposes and those who do not meet the standards of this mission while restoring integrity to the FBI. I promised reform, and I intend to deliver it,» Patel said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
Patel also posted about it on X, saying, «Transparency is important, and accountability is critical. We promised both, and this is what promises kept looks like… We terminated employees, we abolished the weaponized CR-15 squad, and we initiated an ongoing investigation with more accountability measures ahead.»
