This Maxar false color infrared image is horrific. The red is the vegetation that's left. The black scar in Altadena and the side of the San Gabriel Mountains, is the burn scar. It cuts so far into Altadena. The smoke plume is the Eaton Fire still burning. www.cnn.com/weather/live...

What a different 24 hours makes. The Eaton fire had much of Altadena, California ablaze yesterday (image 1). Today, many of the fires (in orange) that Maxar Technologies detected with their shortwave infrared sensor are out (image 2).

Southern California Edison re: transmissions lines: “SCE’s distribution lines immediately to the west of Eaton Canyon were de-energized well before the reported start time of the fire, as part of SCE’s Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) program. SCE is currently conducting a review of the event.”

What's in the area where the Eaton Fire started? - Hiking trails - Two major power transmission lines for Southern California Edison (220kV and 66kV). CNN reached out to SCE for comment but didn't immediately get a response.

What's in the area where the Palisades Fire started? - Hiking trails, including the Temescal Ridge trail - No major power transmission lines, but a CNN review of recent Temescal Ridge trail imagery shows a small overhead power line is in the area. CNN reached out to LADWP but no response yet.

This is a Maxar Technologies sat image with SWIR that shows the Palisade fire this morning at 1045a. Anything in orange is on fire. The coast/PCH is on the bottom.

Without the ability to access the site and gather evidence from the ground, no conclusion can be definitive. An independent, on-the-ground, investigation is needed.

CNN’s forensics analysis of the Al-Ahli Hospital explosion in Gaza City suggests that a rocket launched from Gaza broke up midair, and the blast at the hospital was the result of part of the rocket landing at it. Read the rest of the reporting here:

After CNN shared the locations of the camps, the IDF said they would no longer comment on it saying that it involved "complex analysis of intelligence at the same time that we are fighting a war." But that they would investigate the topic, along with others, at the end of the Gaza war.

At the camps, Hamas + affiliates trained in paragliders, blowing gates and storming compounds -- all things they used during the October 7 attacks. The IDF first told CNN that the camps were "nothing new" and that Hamas had many camps that they had targeted in the past.

They gathered to dance all night In celebration of the Jewish holiday Sukkot. But morning brought rockets and gunfire. The lucky escaped. But an unknown amount were shot, or are now hostages after militants abducted them and brought them across the border to Gaza. www.cnn.com/2023/10/07/m...
