The reason why the maps in Gaza are blurry is that the destruction caused by Israel's aggression is prevented from being seen around the world.
Speaking to our newspaper, informatics expert Adem Sağlam explained the lack of news made by the BBC in his assessment of the blurriness of the maps in question. Sağlam stated that the most important reason why these maps are shown in this way is to prevent the detection of Israel's military presence, to ensure the security of Israel and to hide the destruction it has done in Palestine.
Evaluating the blurriness of the photos presented to the public by Google, IT expert Adem Sağlam said, The reason why Israel is blurred is that its military assets are kept secret and that the reason why Palestine is blurred is the concealment of the destruction and damage caused by the attacks by Israel. In the past, what happened in Myanmar was revealed thanks to the service provided by Google."

Sağlam emphasized that although there are two different ways in the map services provided by Google, there are only satellite images in Gaza. Land shots are taken by 3D cameras on a car. However, the situation for Gaza is that there are no footage from different vehicles. Although it is only a satellite image, it was last updated in 2016 and shared in a blurry way.
HIDING DESTRUCTION IN PALESTINE
Stating that the nearby regions, which are estimated to be viewed on the same satellite, are seen as more up-to-date and high quality, Sağlam said, “Although the photos taken by the same satellite in other countries and regions close to Palestine and Israel were updated in 2021, the images of Palestine were last updated in 2016. "It is a movement that may have been made to hide the destruction caused by Israel's attacks on Palestine," he said.
