ACLED’s Gaza Monitor maps political violence and property destruction events in Gaza, as well as attacks originating in Gaza targeting Israel, since the current conflict began on 7 October 2023. Data can be filtered by actor, date, and type of event. Please visit ACLED’s Knowledge Base for more information on methodology related to sourcing and fatality counts for the conflict in Gaza.

Filters
Choose between the three views to show activity involving all actors, Israeli forces, or Palestinian armed groups. Within each view, use the buttons on the left to further filter the data by subset. The Palestinian armed group activity view can also be filtered by actor. In all cases, these filters will update what is shown on both the map and the chart displayed directly below the map.
Use the date filters to limit events displayed on the map to a specific time period. The selected date range will be marked on the chart.
Buffer zones and evacuation zones
Depending on the start of the date range selected, evacuation and buffer zones designated by the IDF will be displayed on the map. Starting 18 March 2025, the buffer zone was redesignated as an evacuation zone. Several other evacuation zones were created over the following week.
While the displayed evacuation and buffer zone boundaries represent a very close approximation of the IDF’s official demarcations, due to technical limitations they may not be exact. Exact demarcations can be found on the X account of IDF spokesperson Avichai Adraee.
Event details
Click on a dot on the map to see details of events at that location, Details will be displayed in the box to the right of the map, ordered from most to least recent. Details come from the notes column in the dataset.

Labels are displayed on the map to show key points of interest. Click the ‘Show labels’ checkbox to toggle these on or off.
Chart controls
Although by default the chart displays the period since the Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement came into effect 19 January, data going back to 7 October 2023 are available in this tool. Use the slider below the chart to expand or change the range it displays. (Changes to the date range of the chart will not affect what is displayed on the map).
