Gaza Conflict Monitor

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

While the IDF deployment area 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 Avichay 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.

Map controls

By default, scrolling on your mouse or trackpad will not adjust the zoom level of the map. Click on the “Scroll to zoom” checkbox to enable zooming in and out.

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 on 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.)

Switch between stacked bar and line chart views using the buttons on the left.
