Aerial photographs of the Dimona Nuclear Research Center, classified military bases and images from Gaza showing IDF maneuvering units are now publicly accessible via Google and Apple map services. Recent posts on X and other platforms reveal that the resolution of these images is relatively high compared to what was previously available, reaching 0.4 meters.
