Editorial Note
The American Geophysical Union (AGU) is a scientific society that connects more than half a million scientists, advocates, and professionals in Earth and Space sciences worldwide. AGU was established in 1919 by the National Research Council. AGU publishes the journal EOS, a science news magazine.
Kimberly M. S. Cartier, EOS staff writer, has recently published an article under the title “98% of Gaza’s Tree Cropland Destroyed by Israel,” which is a summary of an academic paper titled “Evaluating war-induced damage to agricultural land in the Gaza Strip since October 2023 using PlanetScope and SkySat imagery.” It appeared in June 2025 in the journal Science of Remote Sensing, co-authored by He Yin, Lina Eklund, Dimah Habash, Mazin B. Qumsiyeh, and Jamon Van Den Hoek.
Cartier discusses the two years of war in Gaza that, in her words, “have taken a devastating toll on the people living there. Nearly 70,000 people, including more than 20,000 children, have been killed by Israeli attacks. Disease and famine have taken hold as Israel blocks the flow of food and medical aid into the territory. Several international human rights organizations have determined that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Alongside the human casualties and the destruction of homes and infrastructure, the war has brought the widespread destruction of arable land. Agriculture comprised 32% of land use in Gaza before 7 October 2023, when Hamas, a recognized terrorist organization supporting Palestinian self-determination, attacked Israeli communities in Gaza and Israel launched a massive military response.”
Cartier then introduces the academic paper, which “tracked the destruction of tree cropland and greenhouses in Gaza since the start of the war.” This analysis revealed that “70% of tree cropland and 58% of greenhouses were damaged or destroyed in the first year of the conflict. By the end of October 2025, 98% of Gaza’s tree cropland had been destroyed. Ninety percent of greenhouses were damaged, and 75% were destroyed.”
Cartier then moves on to interview Dr. Mazin Qumsiyeh, a “biologist and social justice advocate at Bethlehem University in the West Bank” and one of the researchers of this project, who said, “Now, after 2 years, we see that most of the greenhouses are gone and the remaining tree cover is largely gone.” Cartier added that Qumsiyeh had said that over the past 2 years, Gaza has endured an ecocide of agricultural lands.
Accordingly, Qumsiyeh said, “Like everything else in Gaza, people managed and survived and resisted and did agriculture… Gaza was not self-sufficient in foods, but [it] did produce significant number of products.” Despite Israel blocking rainwater harvesting and severely restricting Palestinian access to a shared aquifer, Qumsiyeh said, “like everything else in Gaza, people managed and survived and resisted and did agriculture.”
Qumsiyeh told Cartier, “Because no agriculture restoration could happen without providing water.” As focus turns toward restoration, the first thing that is needed are data. “For example, we don’t know the extent of soil contamination in Gaza and what residues of war are there, whether depleted uranium or white phosphorus or heavy metals and other things,” he said. “We don’t even have access to get the soil samples out of Gaza.” There is also increased concern about aquifer contamination. When Israel flooded tunnels in Gaza with seawater, some of that water undoubtedly seeped through the ground into the aquifer that supplies most of the territory. In addition, Gaza has now seen three rainy seasons since the start of the war. Accordingly to Qumsiyeh, “all of that water from the rain will wash these pollutants from the soil down into the water aquifer,” he said. “Again, we don’t have the data because we don’t have samples of water from the water aquifer to be able to test.” Qumsiyeh told Cartier, if there were stronger international laws related to ecocide, data like that could hold those responsible to account.
However, Cartier is apparently unaware that Qumsiyeh is not an impartial scientist but rather a longtime anti-Israel activist. For example, in 2014, a blog post titled “Confronting Mazin Qumsiyeh’s Indictment of Israel” refuted Qumsiyeh, who “campaigns tirelessly” against Israel, and “against its very existence as a sovereign country.” Adding that J.J. Goldberg, The Jewish Daily Forward’s editor-at-large, noted that Qumsiyeh only regards Jews as a religious group and not as a historic people. Writer Hillel Schenker stated that “Mazin shares a problem with many, perhaps most Palestinians, and Arabs in general, who have a difficulty understanding that there is not only a religion called Judaism, but also a Jewish people/nation.”
Even more disturbing is a 2007 article by Qumsiyeh titled “Israel’s Ethnic Cleansing and Apartheid,” published by the Palestine Chronicle, where Qumsiyeh stated that “Israel’s plan was to do ethnic cleansing and colonization and then use any Palestinian resistance as justification (“security”) for further colonization activities. But Israel’s colonization continued even in times of relative calm.” Qumsiyeh ended by being “encouraged that civil society in Europe and North America has now engaged in other forms of struggle for peace with justice, including the growing movement of boycotts, divestments, and sanctions (BDS).”
Clearly, the EOS article and the academic paper are another front in the war that the Palestinians wage against Israel. The next effort is emerging. Last week, shortly after the publication of the EOS article, a petition titled “Pledge to sever ties between weapons companies and AGU” was published online. The missive noted that Lockheed Martin is a “key partner” of the AGU, and stated: “We, the undersigned members of the Earth and space science community, call on the American Geophysical Union to cancel its associations with all weapons companies, especially Lockheed Martin and BAE Systems. By partnering with companies profiting from war and arming the ongoing genocides in Gaza and Sudan, and mass imprisonment and deportation in the US, AGU undermines its own positions in support of environmental protection, climate action, education, and inclusivity. Israel is in its twenty-seventh month of an escalated genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, supported and armed by the United States. With Lockheed Martin’s and BAE system’s weapons and logistical support, Israel has murdered over 100,000 people killed, including over 20,000 children, with many thousands more missing or trapped underneath rubble. Israel has repeatedly attacked the hospitals and healthcare workers responsible for recording deaths. By destroying infrastructure and obstructing the delivery of essential humanitarian aid, Israel and its allies have manufactured conditions of famine and rampant disease among Gaza’s besieged and displaced population. Israel has destroyed Gaza’s educational system, including every single university, and produced environmental catastrophe.”
Scientific readers are unaware that the environmental destruction is actually directed from Gaza. For example, in April 2018, it was reported that Gazans assembled thousands of tires to burn during a planned protest on the border. Israel’s liaison to the Palestinians penned a letter to the head of the World Health Organization calling on him to prevent the “ecological catastrophe.” The report added that the hashtag “day of the tire” trended on social media, as demonstration organizers from various Palestinian factions called on Gazans to help collect 10,000 tires.
Moreover, the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center produced a report in June 2018, titled “Arson Terrorism: A new method devised by Hamas during the ‘return marches’ to attack the communities near the Gaza Strip and disrupt their daily lives,” stating that the phenomenon of “arson terrorism,” led by Hamas, using kites, which began on a small scale during the third week of the violent “return marches,” has gathered momentum. In addition to incendiary kites, the use of helium balloons with flammable substances attached began, and later kites and balloons with IEDs attached. For Hamas, the advantage of helium balloons is that they can penetrate deep into Israeli territory and cause more damage than kites. The report noted that “Arson Terrorism” peaked when dozens of incendiary kites and balloons caused 25 fires, which destroyed thousands of acres of crops, agricultural fields, and natural forests.
The following year, in March 2019, the media reported that the Beeri Forest suffered a massive fire after an incendiary balloon was launched from the Gaza Strip and landed there. Hamas had been sending incendiary balloons and explosive balloons into Israel on a large scale.
Worth noting that for a long period of time, Hamas set Israeli lands on fire, and no scientific community paid attention.
No doubt greenhouses were being destroyed in the war, but the authors should be reminded that in 2005, after Israel withdrew from Gaza, looters stripped the Gaza greenhouses. As American Jewish donors had bought more than 3,000 greenhouses from Israeli settlers in Gaza for $14 million and transferred them to the Palestinian Authority, Palestinians looted dozens of greenhouses, walking off with irrigation hoses, water pumps, and plastic sheeting. Palestinian police stood by helplessly as looters carted off materials from greenhouses. In some instances, there was no security, and in others, police joined the looters, witnesses told journalists.
In fact, if Hamas were so concerned with the destruction of Gaza, at any given moment, it could have laid down its weapons and returned the hostages to Israel. Much of the environmental destruction could have been avoided.
Western scholars, like many other observers, often fall into the trap of Hamas’s propaganda machine. The Hamas propaganda apparatus is effective with Western audiences because it is designed to translate a militant Islamist narrative into Western moral, legal, and emotional language, while obscuring its own ideology and methods. Message laundering through intermediaries, many of whom are academics. IAM has repeatedly demonstrated that some of the most effective intermediaries are scholars because they can wrap themselves in the mantle of impartiality.
The American Geophysical Union should take note.

Two years of war in Gaza have taken a devastating toll on the people living there. Nearly 70,000 people, including more than 20,000 children, have been killed by Israeli attacks. Disease and famine have taken hold as Israel blocks the flow of food and medical aid into the territory. Several internationalhuman rights organizations have determined that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
Alongside the human casualties and the destruction of homes and infrastructure, the war has brought the widespread destruction of arable land. Agriculture comprised 32% of land use in Gaza before 7 October 2023, when Hamas, a recognized terrorist organizationsupporting Palestinian self-determination, attacked Israeli communities in Gaza and Israel launched a massive military response.
A recent analysis has tracked the destruction of tree cropland and greenhouses in Gaza since the start of the war. The analysis revealed that 70% of tree cropland and 58% of greenhouses were damaged or destroyed in the first year of the conflict. By the end of October 2025, 98% of Gaza’s tree cropland had been destroyed. Ninety percent of greenhouses were damaged, and 75% were destroyed.
“After 2 years, we see that most of the greenhouses are gone and the remaining tree cover is largely gone.”
“Now, after 2 years, we see that most of the greenhouses are gone and the remaining tree cover is largely gone,” said Mazin Qumsiyeh, a biologist and social justice advocate at Bethlehem University in the West Bank and a researcher on the project. He said that over the past 2 years, Gaza has endured an ecocide of agricultural lands.
“This is unprecedented damage,” said He Yin, a geographer and remote sensing researcher at Kent State University in Ohio and lead researcher on the project. “I have never seen anything like this,” said Yin, who previously studied other areas of armed conflict, including Syria and the northern Caucasus. Gaza, he said, has “become like a barren land.”
Gazan Agriculture Before the War
Farmers have been cultivating crops in Gaza and the surrounding land for thousands of years. Olive trees, in particular, have played an important cultural role throughout Palestinianand Israeli history, featuring prominently in celebrations, art, literature, and religion.
Prior to October 2023, Gaza’s agricultural sector made up 11% of the territory’s gross domestic product (roughly $575 million) and 45% of its exports. Palestinian farmers cultivated olive and citrus trees, as well as grapes, guava, dates, palms, and figs. More delicate fruits, vegetables, and flowers were grown in tunnels or other protective structures like greenhouses.
“Like everything else in Gaza, people managed and survived and resisted and did agriculture.”
“Gaza was not self-sufficient in foods, but [it] did produce significant number of products,” Qumsiyeh said. Despite Israel blocking rainwater harvesting and severely restrictingPalestinian access to a shared aquifer, “like everything else in Gaza, people managed and survived and resisted and did agriculture,” he said.
The agricultural sector contributed to Palestinians’ food and economic security. Of Gaza’s 365 square kilometers of land, roughly 32% of it was used to grow food, mostly on small-scale family farms. Tree crops covered 23% of the Gaza Strip. Exports like olive oil, strawberries, and flowers found purchase in high-income markets across Europe, Qumsiyeh said, as well as the West Bank. And in years with enhanced drought or poor harvests, selling high-quality, shelf-stable products like olive oil could provide for a family in need.
Now, after 2 years of war, most agricultural land has been destroyed. Pinning down where, when, and how that happened is necessary for recovery and remediation, explained Najat Aoun Saliba, an atmospheric chemist at the American University of Beirut in Lebanon.
Saliba, also a member of Lebanon’s parliament, has studied the impacts of war-related pollutants on public and environmental health in Lebanon but was not involved with the new research about Gaza. Israel has used many of the same types of munitions to attack Gaza as it has to attack southern Lebanon, and Saliba suspects that the long-term environmental damage in Gaza might mirror what she has seen in her own country.
“The long-term environmental impacts of munitions include persistent heavy-metal and explosive residue contamination; persistent phosphorous materials that were used heavily at least in southern Lebanon; [unconfirmed] presence of radioactive materials…especially in the bunker buster ammunitions; reduced soil fertility and microbial imbalance; groundwater pollution and loss of irrigation capacity; and heightened erosion and desertification risks,” Saliba said.
Tracking the Destruction

The United Nations Satellite Center (UNOSAT) has been remotely monitoring the destruction of buildings, land, and infrastructure in Gaza since the start of the war. Their monthly agricultural damage assessments have shown widespread damage, but their methodology has some limitations when applied to a region as small as Gaza, Yin explained.
UNOSAT relies on data from the Sentinel-2satellite, which has a nominal spatial resolution of 10 meters; that might not be the best choice for monitoring Gaza’s small-scale and sometimes fragmented agricultural land. What’s more, in such a rapidly evolving conflict, a monthly observing cadence is not able to track the progression of damage or trace the destruction of individual plots to specific military actions.
To overcome those challenges, Yin and his team turned to two commercial satellite data sources with higher spatial resolutions and daily monitoring: PlanetScope, with a nominal 3-meter resolution, and SkySat, with a nominal 50-centimeter resolution. The higher-resolution datasets allowed the team to create detailed land use maps of Gaza before October 2023, including tree cropland and greenhouses, and then track partial damage or total destruction of those plots every day since Israel’s war commenced.


Most of Gaza’s greenhouses have been damaged or destroyed during 2 years of war. The maps show how damage to greenhouses began in the north and progressed south. Undamaged greenhouses are marked with white circles, and damaged or destroyed greenhouses are marked with red circles. Greenhouses damaged or destroyed between October 2023 and October 2024 are on the left. Greenhouses damaged or destroyed between October 2024 and October 2025 are on the right.

The researchers compared their damage maps to UNOSAT’s to validate their technique. They further validated their remote sensing results by consulting with Yaser Al A’wdat from the Palestine Ministry of Agriculture in Gaza and with other individuals on the ground, who checked whether certain areas flagged in the analysis as “destroyed” truly were. Those consultants in Gaza declined to be interviewed for this story out of concern for their safety.
The initial analysis covered the destruction of agricultural land through the first year of the war and was published in Science of Remote Sensing in February. The researchers found that 64%–70% of tree crop fields and 58% of greenhouses had been damaged by the end of September 2024, after almost 1 year of war. By the end of 2023, all greenhouses in the North Gaza and Gaza City governorates had been damaged, as well as nearly all greenhouses in the Gazan governorate of Deir al-Balah. The analysis showed how damage to both cropland and greenhouses progressed southward toward Khan Yunis and Rafah as Israel’s military campaign shifted focus.
The team continued its analysis through the second full year of the war, and those results, which will be presented on 18 December at AGU’s Annual Meeting 2025 in New Orleans, reveal the near-total destruction of tree cropland (98%) and increasing damage to greenhouses (90% damaged and 75% destroyed). Greenhouses in Rafah, in particular, suffered extensive and widespread damage as Israel’s military operation advanced south.
Remediate, Replant, Restore
Although a shaky (and repeatedly violated) ceasefire went into effect on 10 October, restoration and remediation will take time and very careful planning.
“Research like this can play a critical role in restoration and recovery efforts in Gaza by providing an evidence-based foundation for agricultural rehabilitation.”
“Research like this can play a critical role in restoration and recovery efforts in Gaza by providing an evidence-basedfoundation for agricultural rehabilitation,” Saliba said.
“This type of spatial assessment allows policymakers and humanitarian agencies to plan sequenced restoration—starting with fast-growing crops before replanting long-term trees like olives and citrus—and to design targeted compensation and replanting programs based on verified damage maps,” she added.
Future analyses seeking to map the scope of agricultural damage, as well as efforts to remediate that damage, should incorporate the food-energy-water nexus, Saliba said. “Because no agriculture restoration could happen without providing water.”
As focus turns toward restoration, the first thing that is needed are data, Qumsiyeh said. “For example, we don’t know the extent of soil contamination in Gaza and what residues of war are there, whether depleted uranium or white phosphorus or heavy metals and other things,” he said. “We don’t even have access to get the soil samples out of Gaza.”
There is also increased concern about aquifer contamination. When Israel flooded tunnelsin Gaza with seawater, some of that water undoubtedly seeped through the ground into the aquifer that supplies most of the territory. In addition, Gaza has now seen three rainy seasons since the start of the war.
“All of that water from the rain will wash these pollutants from the soil down into the water aquifer,” Qumsiyeh said. “Again, we don’t have the data because we don’t have samples of water from the water aquifer to be able to test.”
If there were stronger international laws related to ecocide, Qumsiyeh said, data like that could hold those responsible to account.
At present, Israeli troops have partially retreated from the territory, but the area they still occupy beyond the so-called Yellow Linecomprises much of Gaza’s agricultural land and is inaccessible to Palestinian farmers. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, Israel continues to block the entry of agricultural inputs like seed kits, organic fertilizers, and materials needed to rebuild greenhouses.
“Agriculture is part of life. We are part of the land,” Yin said. Ultimately, “who has the power to rebuild Gaza really matters.”

Abstract
The ongoing 2023 Israel-Hamas War has severe and far-reaching consequences for the people, economy, food security, and environment. The immediate impacts of damage and destruction to cities and farms are apparent in widespread reporting and first-hand accounts from within the Gaza Strip. However, there is a lack of comprehensive assessment of the war’s impacts on key Gazan agricultural land that are vital for immediate humanitarian concerns during the ongoing war and for long-term recovery. In the Gaza Strip, agriculture is arguably one of the most important land use systems. However, remote detection of damage to Gazan agriculture is challenged by the diverse agronomic landscapes and small farm sizes. This study uses multi-resolution satellite imagery to monitor damage to tree crops and greenhouses, the most important agricultural land in the Gaza Strip. Our methodology involved several key steps: First, we generated a pre-war cropland map, distinguishing between tree crops (e.g., olives) and greenhouses, using a random forest model and the Segment Anything Model on nominally 3-m PlanetScope and 50-cm Planet SkySat imagery, obtained from 2022 to 2023. Second, we assessed damage to tree crop fields due to the war, employing a harmonic model-based time series analysis using PlanetScope imagery. Third, we assessed the damage to greenhouses by classifying PlanetScope imagery using a random forest model. We performed accuracy assessments on a generated tree crop fields damage map, and we generated error-adjusted area estimates with a 95% confidence interval. To validate the generated greenhouse damage map, we used a random sampling-based analysis. We found that 64–70% of tree crop fields and 58% of greenhouses had been damaged by 27 September 2024, after almost one year of war in the Gaza Strip. By the end of 2023, all greenhouses in North Gaza and Gaza City had been damaged. Our damage estimate overall agrees with that from UNOSAT but provides more detailed and accurate information, such as the timing of the damage as well as fine-scale changes. Our results attest to the severe impacts of the Israel-Hamas War on Gaza’s agricultural sector with direct relevance for food security and economic recovery needs.
Plain-language Summary
The 2023 Israel–Hamas War has severely affected Gaza’s people, economy, and environment—especially its agriculture. While damage to cities and farmland is widely reported, detailed assessments of agricultural impacts are lacking. This study uses satellite imagery to measure damage to Gaza’s key crops: tree crops (like olives) and greenhouses.
We first created a pre-war map using high-resolution satellite images and computer models to identify tree crops and greenhouses. We then tracked damage using satellite image time series and classification methods. By September 27, 2024, nearly one year into the war, 64–70% of tree crop fields and 58% of greenhouses had been damaged. Gaza City and North Gaza were hardest hit, with 90% and 73% of tree crop fields damaged, and all greenhouses destroyed by the end of 2023.
Our results align with UN reports but offer more detailed and timely information. These findings highlight the widespread destruction of Gaza’s agriculture and the urgent need for targeted humanitarian aid and long-term recovery planning. Accurate, up-to-date damage assessments are essential for rebuilding food systems and supporting affected communities.

Pledge to sever ties between weapons companies and AGU
Decision Makers: AGU +1
The Issue
We, the undersigned members of the Earth and space science community, call on the American Geophysical Union to cancel its associations with all weapons companies, espcially Lockheed Martin and BAE Systems. By partnering with companies profiting from war and arming the ongoing genocides in Gaza and Sudan, and mass imprisonment and deportation in the US, AGU undermines its own positions in support of environmental protection, climate action, education, and inclusivity.
Israel is in its twenty-seventh month of an escalated genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, supported and armed by the United States. With Lockheed Martin’s and BAE system’s weapons and logistical support, Israel has murdered over 100,000 people killed, including over 20,000 children, with many thousands more missing or trapped underneath rubble. Israel has repeatedly attacked the hospitals and healthcare workers responsible for recording deaths. By destroying infrastructure and obstructing the delivery of essential humanitarian aid, Israel and its allies have manufactured conditions of famine and rampant disease among Gaza’s besieged and displaced population. Israel has destroyed Gaza’s educational system, including every single university, and produced environmental catastrophe. Since the ceasefire announcement on October 10, 2025, Israel has continued bombing and shelling, directly shooting Palestinians, blocking humanitarian aid, and destroying homes and properties in Gaza. At the same time, Israeli settlers have escalated state-backed violence in the occupied West Bank, forcibly expelling Palestinians to build new colonies.
These acts of aggression, which constitute systematic violations of international law, are made possible by weapons and advanced technology from American Geophysical Union sponsors. In particular, BAE Systems and the Lockheed Martin Corporation play central roles in arming Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Lockheed Martin, a “key partner” of the AGU, supplies the Israeli military with F-16 and F-35 fighter jets, Hellfire missiles, C-130 Hercules transport planes, and CH-53K King Stallion heavy lift helicopters. BAE Systems manufactures the M109 Howitzer artillery system used for extensive shelling in Gaza, including with internationally banned white phosphorous. BAE Systems also manufactures components for F-15, F-16, and F-35 warplanes, including electronic missile launching kits.
Lockheed Martin also maintains hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts with the U.A.E, arming their violent imperialism in the region, including the proxy war in Sudan where the UAE backed RSF massacred over 60,000 civillians in El-Fasher, with over 150,000 missing since the RSF siezed the city.
Israel’s genocide of Palestinians has been lucrative for both companies. Since October 2023, Lockheed Martin has been awarded hundreds of millions of dollars in additional military contracts, and CEO James Taiclet has highlighted Israel’s offensive in Gaza as a driver of future profits. Similarly, BAE systems has enjoyed spikes in sales and record profits.
As researchers and educators who hope to see our work used for good, we are aware of how scientific knowledge and technology can also be used for cultural and environmental destruction. We take seriously the AGU’s charge to “protect the health and safety of people, animals, and the environment”. We therefore urge the AGU to reject associations with Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems, and any corporations whose profit-seeking goals violate a core part of AGU’s mission and its members’ work toward a more sustainable future.
