The blast was captured in a now deleted video, which was reportedly shared by an Israeli soldier on Instagram and geolocated by CNN. Satellite imagery shows that the reservoir was damaged between July 26 and July 27. Destroyed buildings are visible in the surrounding area.

More than 1.7 million cases of infectious diseases have been recorded in Gaza, according to the Ministry of Health there.
