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.
On 15 January 2025, after more than 15 months of fighting, Israel and Hamas reached a ceasefire agreement. The terms of the ceasefire, which took effect on 19 January, are outlined below.
Ceasefire Phase 1
Day 1 (19 January)
- All fighting is to pause.
- Israeli forces are to start withdrawing from Gaza’s populated areas, as well as the Netzarim Corridor, to a ‘buffer zone’ along the edge of the Strip.
- The exchange of 33 hostages and 1,900 Palestinian prisoners is set to begin.
- Increased aid delivery is set to begin.
Day 7 (25 January)
- Internally displaced people are to be allowed to return north on foot, without carrying arms and without undergoing inspection, via al-Rashid Road.
- Vehicles and any non-pedestrian traffic are to be allowed to return north of the Netzarim Corridor after vehicle inspection, which will be performed by a private company.
Day 14 (1 Feb)
- Fifty wounded Hamas members per day are to be allowed to enter Egypt for medical treatment, accompanied by up to three people.
Day 16 (3 Feb)
- Negotiations for Phase 2 are set to begin.
Day 22 (9 February)
- Internally displaced people are to be allowed to return north on foot, without carrying arms and without undergoing inspection, from the Salah al-Din Road.
Phase 1 was completed but the ceasefire collapsed on 19 March with Israel’s resumption of airstrikes.

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 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.
