The Israel–Hamas war, also known as the Gaza War, is an ongoing armed conflict between Israel and Hamas-led Palestinian militant groups.[ad] It is the fifth war of the Gaza–Israel conflict since 2008, and the most significant military engagement in the region since the Yom Kippur War in 1973.[145] It is the deadliest war for Palestinians in the history of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.[146]
The war began when Hamas-led militant groups launched a surprise attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, which involved a rocket barrage and a few thousand militants breaching the Gaza–Israel barrier, attacking Israeli civilian communities and military bases. During this attack, 1,195 Israelis and foreign nationals were killed, including 815 civilians.[99][ae] In addition, 251 Israelis and foreigners were taken captive into Gaza, with the stated goal to force Israel to release Palestinian prisoners and detainees.[147][148] Hamas said its attack was in response to Israel's continued occupation, blockade of Gaza, expansion of settlements, Israel's disregard for international law, as well as alleged threats to the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the general plight of Palestinians.[149][150][151] After clearing militants from its territory, Israel launched one of the most destructive bombing campaigns in modern history[152][153] and invaded Gaza on 27 October with the stated objectives of destroying Hamas and freeing hostages.[154][155]
Since the start of the war, over 45,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed,[af] most of them women and children.[33][156][157] Israel's tightened blockade cut off basic necessities and attacks on infrastructure have destroyed Gaza's healthcare system and caused a severe hunger crisis, with a high risk of famine persisting as of November 2024[update].[158][159] By early 2024, Israeli forces had destroyed or damaged over half of Gaza's houses,[160] at least a third of its tree cover and farmland,[161][162] most of its schools and universities,[163][164] hundreds of cultural landmarks,[165] and at least a dozen cemeteries.[166] Nearly all of the strip's 2.3 million Palestinian population have been forcibly displaced.[167][168] Over 100,000 Israelis were internally displaced as of February 2024.[169] Throughout the war, Israel assassinated several Hamas leaders in and outside of Gaza.
The war continues to have significant regional and international repercussions. Large, primarily pro-Palestinian protests have taken place across the world, calling for a ceasefire. The International Court of Justice is reviewing a case accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, while the International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders.[170] The United States has given Israel extensive military aid and vetoed multiple UN Security Council ceasefire resolutions.[171] Groups of the Axis of Resistance have attacked American military bases in the Middle East. Additionally, the Yemeni Houthi movement have engaged in attacks in the Red Sea on commercial vessels allegedly linked to Israel, incurring a US-led military response.[172] The ongoing exchange of strikes between Lebanon's Hezbollah and Israel escalated into an Israeli invasion of Lebanon on 1 October 2024.[173]
Names
The war is referred to by different names. Israel calls it the 'War of Iron Swords' (Hebrew: מלחמת חרבות ברזל).[174][ag] Palestinian militant groups refer to it as the 'Battle of al-Aqsa Flood' (Arabic: معركة طوفان الأقصى), in reference to Operation al-Aqsa Flood.[177][178] Western media outlets have variably described it as the 'Israel-Gaza War'[179] or the 'Israel-Hamas War',[180] while others use 'War on Gaza'.[181] Some have rejected 'war' as an appropriate framework and call it the 'Gaza genocide',[182][183] 'second Nakba'[184] or 'Nakba 2023.'[185][186]
Background
The 1948 Palestine war saw the establishment of Israel over most of what had been Mandatory Palestine, with the exception of two separated territories that became known as the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, which were held by Jordan and Egypt respectively. Following the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel occupied the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.[145] The upcoming period witnessed two popular uprisings by Palestinians against the Israeli occupation; the First and Second Intifadas in 1987 and 2000 respectively,[188] with the latter's end seeing Israel's unilateral withdrawal from Gaza in 2005.[189][190]
Since 2007, the Gaza Strip has been governed by Hamas, an Islamist militant group, while the West Bank remained under the control of the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority. After Hamas' takeover, Israel imposed a blockade of the Gaza Strip,[191][192] that significantly damaged its economy.[193] The blockade was justified by Israel citing security concerns,[194] but international rights groups have characterized the blockade as a form of collective punishment.[195][196][197] Due to the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip, UNRWA reported that 81% of people were living below the poverty level in 2023, with 63% being food insecure and dependent on international assistance.[187][198]
Since 2007, Israel and Hamas, along with other Palestinian militant groups based in Gaza, have engaged in conflict,[194][192][199] including in four wars in 2008–2009, 2012, 2014, and 2021.[200][201] These conflicts killed approximately 6,400 Palestinians and 300 Israelis.[202][107][187] In 2018–2019, there were large weekly organized protests near the Gaza-Israel border, which were violently suppressed by Israel, whose forces killed hundreds and injured thousands of Palestinians by sniper fire.[203][204] Soon after the 2021 Israel–Palestine crisis began, Hamas' military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, started planning the 7 October 2023 operation against Israel.[205][206] According to diplomats, Hamas had repeatedly said in the months leading up to October 2023 that it did not want another military escalation in Gaza as it would worsen the humanitarian crisis that occurred after the 2021 conflict.[197]
Hamas officials stated that the attack was a response to the Israeli occupation, blockade of the Gaza Strip, Israeli settler violence against Palestinians, restrictions on the movement of Palestinians, and imprisonment of thousands of Palestinians, whom Hamas sought to release by taking Israeli hostages.[149][150][207] Numerous commentators have identified the broader context of Israeli occupation as a cause of the war.[208][209][210] The Associated Press wrote that Palestinians are "in despair over a never-ending occupation in the West Bank and suffocating blockade of Gaza".[211] Several human rights organizations, including Amnesty International,[212] B'Tselem[213] and Human Rights Watch[214] have likened the Israeli occupation to apartheid, although supporters of Israel dispute this characterization.[215][216] However, an advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice published in July 2024 affirmed the occupation as being illegal and said it violated Article 3 of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, which prohibits racial segregation and apartheid.[217]

The attacks took place during the Jewish holidays of Simchat Torah and Shemini Atzeret on Shabbat,[218] and one day after the 50th anniversary of the start of the Yom Kippur War, which also began with a surprise attack on Israel.[211] At around 6:30 a.m. IDT (UTC+03:00) on 7 October 2023,[219] Hamas announced the start of what it called "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood", stating it had fired over 5,000 rockets from the Gaza Strip into Israel within a span of 20 minutes. Israeli sources reported that at least 3,000 projectiles had been launched from Gaza. At least five people were killed by the rocket attacks.[220][221][222] Explosions were reported in areas surrounding the strip and in cities in the Sharon plain including Gedera, Herzliya,[223] Tel Aviv, and Ashkelon.[224]
Hamas employed tactics such as using aerial drones to disable Israeli observation posts, paragliders for infiltration into Israel, and motorcycles, which was unusual for Hamas.[225] In the evening, Hamas launched another barrage of 150 rockets towards Israel, with explosions reported in Yavne, Givatayim, Bat Yam, Beit Dagan, Tel Aviv, and Rishon LeZion.[221] Simultaneously, around 3,000 Hamas militants[74] infiltrated Israel from Gaza using trucks, motorcycles, bulldozers, speedboats, and paragliders.[211][219][226] They took over checkpoints at Kerem Shalom and Erez, and created openings in the border fence in five other places.[227] Hamas militants also carried out an amphibious landing in Zikim.[224][228]
Militants killed civilians at Nir Oz,[229] Be'eri, and Netiv HaAsara, and other agricultural communities, where they took hostages[230] and set fire to homes.[223] 52 civilians were killed in the Kfar Aza massacre, 108 in the Be'eri massacre (a loss of 10% of the kibbutz's population) and 15 in the Netiv HaAsara massacre.[231][232][233] In Sderot, gunmen targeted civilians and set houses ablaze. In Ofakim, hostages were taken during Hamas's deepest incursion.[234][233] In Be'eri, Hamas militants took up to 50 people hostage.[235] At least 325 people were killed and more injured at an outdoor music festival near Re'im and Hamas took at least 37 attendees hostage.[236][237][238] In total, 251 people were taken hostage during the attacks, mostly civilians.[235][239] Captives in Gaza included children, festivalgoers, peace activists, caregivers, elderly people, and soldiers.[240] Hamas militants also reportedly engaged in mutilation, torture, and sexual and gender-based violence.[241][242][243]
The 7 October attack was described as "an intelligence failure for the ages"[244] and a "failure of imagination" on the part of the Israeli government.[245] A BBC report on the intelligence failure commented that "it must have taken extraordinary levels of operational security by Hamas".[246] Israeli officials later anonymously reported to Axios that the IDF and Shin Bet had detected abnormal movements by Hamas the day before the attack, but decided to wait for additional intelligence before raising the military's alert level. They also did not inform political leaders of the intelligence reports.[247]
A briefing in The Economist noted that "the assault dwarf[ed] all other mass murders of Israeli civilians", reasoning that "the last time before October 7th that this many Jews were murdered on a single day was during the Holocaust."[233] Hamas stated that its attack was a response to the blockade of the Gaza Strip, the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements, rising Israeli settler violence and recent escalations at Al-Aqsa.[149][150][207] Intelligence and security officials from multiple Western countries, along with Hamas political officials, claimed that the 7 October attack was a calculated effort to create a "permanent" state of war and revive interest in the Palestinian cause.[248][249]

After the initial breach of the Gaza perimeter by Palestinian militants, it took hours for the IDF to start its counter-attack.[250] The first helicopters sent to support the military were launched from the north of Israel, and arrived at the Gaza Strip an hour after fighting began.[237] They encountered difficulty in determining which outposts and communities were occupied, and distinguishing between Palestinian militants and the soldiers and civilians on the ground.[237] The helicopter crews initially sustained a high rate of fire, attacking approximately 300 targets in four hours. Later on the crews began to slow down the attacks and carefully select targets.[237] According to Haaretz's journalist, a police source said that a police investigation indicated an IDF helicopter which had fired on Hamas militants "apparently also hit some festival participants" in the Re'im music festival massacre.[236] The Israeli police denied the Haaretz report.[251]
A subsequent Israeli investigation claimed that militants had been instructed not to run so that the air force would think they were Israelis.[237] This deception worked for some time, but pilots began to realize the problem and ignore their restrictions. By around 9:00 am, some helicopters started laying down fire without prior authorization.[237]
A July 2024 Haaretz investigation revealed that the IDF ordered the Hannibal Directive to be used, adding: "Haaretz does not know whether or how many civilians and soldiers were hit due to these procedures, but the cumulative data indicates that many of the kidnapped people were at risk, exposed to Israeli gunfire, even if they were not the target." At 7:18 a.m., an observation post reported someone had been kidnapped at the Erez crossing, close to the IDF's liaison office.[252]
At 6:40 p.m. military intelligence believed militants were intending to flee back to Gaza in an organized manner from near Kibbutz Be'eri, Kfar Azza and Kissufim. In response the army launched artillery at the border fence area, very close to some of these communities. Shells were also fired at the Erez border crossing shortly thereafter. The IDF said it was not aware of any civilians being hurt in these bombardments.[252] 14 hostages were in the house of Pessi Cohen at Kibbutz Be'eri as the IDF attacked it, with 13 of them killed.[252]
Former Israeli Air Force officer Colonel Nof Erez said: "This was a mass Hannibal. It was tons and tons of openings in the fence, and thousands of people in every type of vehicle, some with hostages and some without." ABC News (Australia) said that not only soldiers but also Israeli civilians were targeted, citing testimonies from two incidents at Kibbutz Be'eri and Nir Oz.[253]
Six months later the IDF released a review exonerating itself, but it left many at Kibbutz Be'eri unsatisfied and contradicted the testimony from one of the survivors, Yasmin Porat, who told Israel's Kan radio on 15 October that Hamas gunmen had not threatened the hostages and instead intended to negotiate with police for their safe return to Gaza. She said an Israeli police special unit had started the gun battle by firing upon the house, catching "five or six" kibbutz residents outside in "very, very heavy crossfire". In the interview, she was asked: "So our forces may have shot them?" "Undoubtedly," she replied."[253]
The attack appeared to have been a complete surprise to the Israelis.[254] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened an emergency gathering of security authorities, and the IDF launched Operation Swords of Iron in the Gaza Strip.[255][221] In a televised broadcast, Netanyahu said, "We are at war".[226] He threatened to "turn all the places where Hamas is organized and hiding into cities of ruins", called Gaza "the city of evil", and urged its residents to leave.[256][149] Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant conducted security assessments at IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv.[229][224] Overnight, Israel's Security Cabinet voted to act to bring about the "destruction of the military and governmental capabilities of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad".[257] The Israel Electric Corporation, which supplies 80% of the Gaza Strip's electricity, cut off power to the area.[224] This reduced Gaza's power supply from 120 MW to 20 MW, provided by power plants paid for by the Palestinian Authority.[258]
On 9 or 10 October, Hamas offered to release all civilian hostages held in Gaza if Israel would call off its planned invasion of the Gaza Strip, but the Israeli government rejected the offer.[259]
The IDF declared a "state of readiness for war",[221] mobilized tens of thousands of army reservists,[219][224] and declared a state of emergency for areas within 80 kilometers (50 mi) of Gaza.[260] The Yamam counterterrorism unit was deployed,[261] along with four new divisions, augmenting 31 existing battalions.[211] Reservists were reported deployed in Gaza, in the West Bank, and along borders with Lebanon and Syria.[262]
Residents near Gaza were asked to stay inside, while civilians in southern and central Israel were "required to stay next to shelters".[224] The southern region of Israel was closed to civilian movement,[261] and roads were closed around Gaza[211] and Tel Aviv.[224] While Ben Gurion Airport and Ramon Airport remained operational, multiple airlines cancelled flights to and from Israel.[263] Israel Railways suspended service in parts of the country and replaced some routes with temporary bus routes,[264][265] while cruise lines removed the ports of Ashdod and Haifa from their itineraries.[266]
Israeli blockade and bombardment
Following the surprise attack, the Israeli Air Force conducted airstrikes that they said targeted Hamas compounds, command centers, tunnels, and other targets.[221][260][267] Israel employed its artificial intelligence Habsora ("The Gospel") software to automatically generate targets to be attacked.[268][269] Two days after the surprise attack, Israel said that 426 targets had been hit, including Beit Hanoun, homes of Hamas officials, a mosque, and the Watan Tower, an internet infrastructure hub.[267][270][271] Israel also rescued two hostages before declaring a state of war for the first time since the 1973 Yom Kippur War.[272][273]
On 9 October, Defense Minister Gallant announced a "total" blockade of the Gaza Strip, cutting off electricity and blocking the entry of food and fuel, saying "We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly".[274] This drew criticism from Human Rights Watch (HRW) who described the order as "abhorrent" and as a "call to commit a war crime" and accused Israel of using white phosphorus munitions over Gaza in violation of international law.[275][276] On 10 October, an Israeli airstrike on a house in Deir al-Balah killed 18 people.[277] Gallant backed down from implementing a total blockade under pressure from US President Joe Biden and a deal was made on 19 October for Israel and Egypt to allow aid into Gaza.[278] The first aid convoy after the start of the war entered Gaza on 21 October 2023,[279] while fuel did not enter Gaza until November.[280]
Evacuation of Northern Gaza
On 13 October, the IDF called for the evacuation of all civilians in Gaza City to areas south of the Wadi Gaza[281] within 24 hours. The Hamas Authority for Refugee Affairs responded by telling residents in northern Gaza to "remain steadfast in your homes and stand firm in the face of this disgusting psychological war waged by the occupation".[282] The statement by Israel faced widespread backlash with numerous agencies such as Doctors Without Borders, the World Health Organization, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and others condemning it as "outrageous" and "impossible" while calling for an immediate reversal of the order.[283]
As a part of the order, the IDF announced a six-hour window from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. local time on 13 October, for refugees to flee south along specified routes within the Gaza Strip.[284] An explosion at 5:30 p.m. along one of the safe routes killed 70 Palestinians. Israel and Hamas blamed each other for the attack.[285]
The IDF said Hamas set up roadblocks to keep Gaza residents from evacuating south and caused traffic jams.[286] Israeli officials stated this was done to use civilians as "human shields", which Hamas denied.[287] A number of countries and international organizations condemned what they called Hamas's use of hospitals and civilians as human shields.[288]

On 17 October, Israel bombed areas of southern Gaza.[289] Gazan Ministry of Health officials reported heavy overnight bombing killing over 70 people, including families who had evacuated from Gaza City in the north.[290] One of the airstrikes killed a senior Hamas military commander Ayman Nofal.[291] In the afternoon, an Israeli strike hit a UNRWA school in the Al-Maghazi refugee camp, killing six and injuring 12.[292] Late in the evening, an explosion occurred in the parking lot of the Al-Ahli Arabi Baptist Hospital in the center of Gaza City, killing hundreds. The cause of the explosion was disputed by Hamas and the IDF, and the ongoing conflict prevented independent on-site analysis.[293] Palestinian statements that it was an Israeli airstrike were denied by the IDF, which stated that the explosion resulted from a failed rocket launch by Palestinian Islamic Jihad.[294] The PIJ denied any involvement.[295][296]
The cause of the explosion at Al-Ahli Arab Hospital is contested. In the days after the blast, US, Canadian, French and UK defense and intelligence services concluded it was caused by an errant Palestinian rocket.[297] Channel 4 news cast doubt on Israeli claims of a misfired Hamas rocket being responsible for the blast.[298][299] The Associated Press,[300] CNN,[301] The Economist, The Guardian, and The Wall Street Journal[302] concluded a Palestinian missile was the most likely explanation for the blast. In late November, an analysis by Human Rights Watch indicated the evidence pointed to a misfired Palestinian rocket as the cause, but stated that further investigation was required.[303] Forensic Architecture's investigation, as reported by The New York Times, Bloomberg News, BBC News, and El País, disputed Israel's account, concluding instead that the blast was the result of a munition fired from the direction of Israel.[304] A second report by Forensic Architecture took into account the situated testimony of doctors, survivors, and journalists on the ground, as well as photogrammetry and 3D reconstruction, and gave additional credibility to the incident being an Israeli attack instead of a misfired Palestinian rocket.[305] In April 2024 The New Yorker, citing investigations from Earshot and Forensic Architecture, highlighted doubts about a Palestinian rocket involvement and noted the IDF's role in fostering uncertainty through misinformation.[306][307]
Invasion of the Gaza Strip until the truce (October–November 2023)

On 27 October, the IDF launched a large-scale, multi-pronged ground incursion into parts of northern Gaza. The IDF was building up a force of over 100,000 soldiers in the cities of Ashkelon, Sderot and Kiryat Gat. Clashes between Hamas and the IDF were reported near Beit Hanoun and Bureij.[308][309] Israeli airstrikes targeted the area around al-Quds hospital,[310] where around 14,000 civilians were believed to be sheltering in or near the hospital.[310] Associated Press reported that Israeli airstrikes also destroyed roads leading to Al-Shifa hospital, making it increasingly difficult to reach.[311] The following day, the IDF struck Jabalia refugee camp, killing 50 and wounding 150 Palestinians. Israel said a senior Hamas commander and dozens of militants in an underground tunnel complex were among those killed. Hamas denied the presence of a senior commander on the scene.[312][313][314] The nearby Indonesia Hospital's surgical director said they had received 120 dead bodies and treated 280 wounded, the majority of them women and children.[315] The attack resulted in several ambassador recalls.[316][317][318] According to The New York Times at least two 2,000-pound bombs, the second largest type in Israel's arsenal, were used.[319]

On 31 October, Israel bombed a six-story apartment building in central Gaza, killing at least 106 civilians including 54 children in what Human Rights Watch called an "apparent war crime."[320] On 1 November, the first group of evacuees left Gaza for Egypt. 500 evacuees, comprising critically wounded and foreign nationals, would be evacuated over the course of several days, with 200 evacuees already waiting at the border crossing.[321] On the same day, the Jabalia refugee camp was bombed for a second time.[322][323]
On 3 November, Israel struck an ambulance convoy directly in front of Al-Shifa Hospital, killing at least 15 people and injuring 60 more.[324][325] The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said one of its ambulances was struck "by a missile fired by the Israeli forces" about two meters from the entrance to al-Shifa hospital.[325] The PRCS said another ambulance was fired on about a kilometer from the hospital.[325] The next day, a UNRWA spokeswoman confirmed reports that Israel had conducted an airstrike against a UN-run school in the Jabalia refugee camp, killing 15 people.[326]
On 18 November Israeli strikes killed over 80 people in Jabalia refugee camp.[327] Israel also attacked a clearly marked Médecins Sans Frontières convoy, killing two aid workers.[328] On 22 November, Israel and Hamas reached a temporary ceasefire agreement, providing for a four-day pause[329] in hostilities to allow for the release of 50 hostages held in Gaza.[329][330] The deal also provided for the release of approximately 150 Palestinian women and children incarcerated by Israel.[330] The Israeli Prime Minister's Office stated Israel's intention to continue the war.[329][330]
Duration of the truce (November–December 2023)
Following the introduction of a Qatari-brokered truce on 24 November, starting at 7:00 am Israel time, active fighting in the Gaza Strip ceased and some of the Israeli and foreign hostages were released by Hamas in exchange for the release of some of the Palestinian political prisoners held by Israel. The truce was announced for a period of four days but was extended for a longer period.
From 24 to 30 November, Hamas released hostages and Israel released prisoners. On 27 November, Qatar announced that an agreement between Israel and Hamas to extend the truce by two days had been reached.[331] Both Israel and Hamas accused each other of violating the truce on 28 November.[332] On 30 November, in a "last-minute agreement", Hamas released eight hostages in exchange for the release of 30 imprisoned Palestinians and a one-day truce extension.[333]
Resumption of hostilities (December 2023 – May 2024)
Continuation of operations in Northern Gaza (December 2023 – January 2024)
The truce expired on 1 December, as Israel and Hamas blamed each other for failing to agree on an extension. The disagreement centered on "how to define soldiers versus civilians and how many Palestinian prisoners Israel would release for its hostages".[334][excessive quote] The remaining Israeli hostages include a year old baby, his 4-year-old brother and their mother, 13 women aged 18–39, and 85 men, some over 80.[335] Thousands of Palestinians remain in administrative detention.[336] A Hamas official said that after the exchange, the only remaining hostages were civilian men and soldiers, and refused to exchange them until "all our prisoners are freed" and there is a ceasefire.[337] US National Security Advisor Kirby said "Hamas agreed to allow the Red Cross access to these hostages" during the pause, which "didn't happen and is still not happening".[338] The Palestinian Prisoners' Club said that although 240 Palestinian prisoners were released as part of the ceasefire deal, another 240 Palestinians were incarcerated. Released Palestinian prisoners reported mistreatment including beatings, overcrowding, food deprivation, and suspension of access to the Red Cross.[339] Released prisoners were forbidden to speak with the media and threatened with fines.[336]
Israel adopted a grid system to order precise evacuations within Gaza, released a map, and dropped leaflets with a QR code. The grid-based evacuation system was criticized as inaccessible and confusing due to the lack of electricity and internet connectivity in Gaza. Some evacuation instructions were vague or contradictory,[340][341] and Israel struck "safe" areas it had told people to evacuate to.[342][343][344]
Law experts said they had not seen significant changes in how Israel waged war, calling its warnings to civilians ineffective and saying it was unclear if anywhere in Gaza was safe.[345] Amnesty International said "US-made weapons facilitated the mass killings of extended families". Amnesty found no evidence of military targets at the sites of the strikes, or indication occupants were affiliated with Hamas, prompting it to request airstrikes be investigated as possible war crimes.[346] Decomposed babies were found in Al-Nasr Children's Hospital in north Gaza, two weeks after its forced evacuation.[347][348]
On 6 December Refaat Alareer, a prominent professor and writer in Gaza, was killed by an Israeli airstrike.[349] His poem, "If I Must Die" was widely circulated after his death.[350]
Advance into Central Gaza (December 2023 – February 2024)
In December, the IDF reported its troops had reached the centers of Khan Yunis, Jabalia, and Shuja'iyya.[351] Intensified bombing pushed Palestinian civilians south to Rafah.[352] On 7 December, Israel detained 150 men in the Gaza Strip, with dozens more detained on 10 December. According to Israel, the detentions followed a mass surrender of Hamas militants.[353][354] The New York Times reported that the statement about Hamas fighters surrendering was made after video and photos of "men stripped to their underwear, sitting or kneeling… with some bound and blindfolded" were seen on social media.[355]The Guardian reported that among those in the images were civilians, including a journalist. The ICRC said it was concerned and strongly emphasized humane and dignified treatment of those detained as well as international humanitarian law.[356] The BBC reported that a video of the apparent surrender of weapons was unclear on whether a man is "surrendering" weapons, or just moving them as instructed, suggesting it was performed for the camera rather than an authentic surrender, and it is unknown if the individuals are involved with Hamas, or the 7 October attack.[357] Haaretz reported that Israel believed about 10% of the people shown in the video were affiliated with Hamas, and despite public statements by Israel, this was not a "mass surrender" by Hamas.[358] Amnesty International described the treatment of those detained on 7 December as a violation of international law.[359]
On 8 December the Israeli Navy fired 20mm cannon rounds at UNRWA facilities in Rafah.[328]
On 13 December, the IDF said that, since it designated a humanitarian zone for civilians in the Gaza Strip on 18 October 116 rockets had been fired from there toward Israel, including 38 falling inside Gaza.[360] The Pentagon announced on 9 December that the Biden administration had authorized the sale of around 14,000 rounds of tank ammunition to Israel without congressional authorization, using emergency powers.[361] On 29 December, it did so again with $148 million worth of artillery shells and related items.[362]
On 15 December, the IDF announced it had killed three Israeli hostages by friendly fire. They "mistakenly identified three Israeli hostages as a threat" during operations in Shuja'iyya.[133][363][364] The same day, an IDF tank fired at the Convent of the Sisters of Mother Teresa, displacing the 54 disabled people sheltering there and leaving some without respirators that they needed to survive. Later that day, an IDF sniper killed two women sheltering in the compound. Pope Francis condemned the attack, calling it "terrorism."[328]
Withdrawal from Northern Gaza (January–February 2024)

World Central Kitchen, ANERA and Project HOPE suspended their operations in Gaza. 240 tons of aid from World Central Kitchen was not distributed due to its withdrawal.[410][412] On 4 April, Israel opened the Erez Crossing for the first time since 7 October after US pressure.[413]
On 7 April, Israel withdrew from the south Gaza Strip, with only one brigade remaining in the Netzarim Corridor in the north.[414] Palestinians displaced from that city began to return from the south of the Gaza Strip.[415] Israel planned to initiate its ground offensive in Rafah around mid-April, but postponed to consider its response to the Iranian strikes on Israel.[416] On 25 April, Israel intensified strikes on Rafah ahead of threatened invasion.[417][418] On 5 May, Hamas launched a rocket attack from Rafah towards Kerem Shalom, killing 3 Israeli soldiers.[419]

However, the State Department and White House denied any knowledge of this commitment.[432] The previous week, the US had paused a shipment of bombs to Israel over concerns about the offensive.[433] On 11 May, the IDF ordered more residents to evacuate eastern and central Rafah.[434] By 15 May, an estimated 600,000 had fled Rafah and another 100,000 from the north, according to the United Nations.[435] On 24 May, the International Court of Justice ruled that "Israel must immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah Governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part."[170][436]

In his statement, Türk invoked the international obligation to prevent genocide, marking a departure from UN hesitancy to use that word regarding the war.[597] Food aid to Gaza reached a new low in October at an average of 30 trucks per day, or less than 6% of the daily pre-war average.[598] Residents of northern Gaza have said no aid has reached its cities since 5 October.[599]

Whistleblowers and detainees reported beatings and torture of Palestinian detainees at the camp, as well as amputations of limbs due to injuries sustained from handcuffing, medical neglect, arbitrary punishment and sexual abuse. Prisoners have been coerced to make confessions that they are members of Hamas.[756][757][758] After conditions in the camp came to light in May 2024, the Supreme Court of Israel held a hearing and the IDF began transferring 1,200 of the prisoners to Ofer Prison.[759] Detainees have reported severe instances of violence during transfers between prisons.[755][760]
Several Palestinian healthcare workers have been abducted from Gaza hospitals during sieges by Israeli forces.[760] On 5 December, Israeli forces abducted the adult men present at Al-Awda hospital and took them to Sde Teiman camp.

On 23 December, a suspected Iranian drone attacked the Israel-affiliated oil tanker MV Chem Pluto in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Gujarat. The attack did not harm any of its 20 crew members, but caused a fire that was extinguished. The vessel was reportedly carrying Saudi oil to Mangalore, India.[925]
On 13 April 2024, the IRGC Navy boarded the Portuguese-registered and Madeira-flagged container ship MSC Aries in the Strait of Hormuz via helicopter, and directed it to Iranian territory for "violating maritime law". The ship is leased by MSC from Gortal Shipping, an affiliate of Zodiac Maritime, whose principal is Israeli.[926][927]
On 31 July, Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran, where he had traveled to attend the inauguration of President Masoud Pezeshkian. Iranian media said an Israeli strike took place at 02:00 and targeted a residence for war veterans in North Tehran, where Haniyeh was staying.[928]
Iranian strikes on Israel
On 13 April, following an Israeli airstrike on its consulate building in Damascus, Syria on 1 April,[929] Iran launched Operation True Promise,[930] a series of retaliatory airstrikes on Israel,[703][704] attacking the country from Iranian soil for the first time.[931]
On 1 October 2024, Iran began firing missiles at Israel in at least two waves,[932][933] with sirens being heard across the country. Explosions were heard overhead across Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.[932] The IDF confirmed over 100 missiles were fired by Iran.[934]
Israeli response
On 12 October, the United States authorized the deployment of THAAD missile defense systems and American crews to man them to Israel in anticipation of an Iranian response to the planned Israeli retaliation for Iran's 1 October strikes.[935][936] Massive cyberattacks were reported on nuclear facilities and government agencies of Iran.[937] Leaked US intelligence documents revealed that Israel was conducting covert drone operations over Iran in preparation for a strike. The documents also showed that the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency was monitoring Israeli weapons movements, ground forces, air defenses, navy, air and special forces, and nuclear weapons, but that it lacked the intelligence to anticipate an Israeli strike. US intelligence did not find any indication that Israel was planning to use nuclear weapons in its response.[938][939] On 23 October, Gholamreza Jalali, the head of Iran's National Organization for Passive Defense said that Israeli cyberattacks against Iranian interests are continuing, but they are facing a "layer-by-layer" defence strategy that have kept them at bay.[940] On 24 October, IRGC chief Hossein Salami claimed that THAAD systems will not be enough if Israel prompts an Iranian attack by attacking Iran.[941] On 26 October, the IDF carried out airstrikes in Iran in response to its attacks against Israel.[942][943] An Iranian civilian and four Iranian soldiers were killed in the strikes.[944][945]
Casualties
As of 10 December 2024[update], over 46,000 people – 44,786 Palestinian[948] and 1,706 Israeli[955] – have been reported killed in the Israel–Hamas war, as well as 141–156 journalists and media workers,[958] 120 academics,[959] and over 224 humanitarian aid workers, a number that includes 179 employees of UNRWA.[960] In Nov 2024, the UN published its analysis covering only victims verified from at least three independent sources over 6 months span between Nov 2023 and April 2024 found that 70% of Palestinian deaths in Gaza are women and children.[947]
The majority of casualties have been in the Gaza Strip. The Gaza Health Ministry (GHM) total casualty count is the number of deaths directly caused by the war. The demographic breakdown is a subset of those individually identified.[33][961] On 17 September 2024, the GHM published the names, gender and birth date of 34,344 individual Palestinians whose identities were confirmed. This reflects over 80% of the casualties reported so far; of these, 60% were not men of fighting age.[33] The GHM count does not include those who have died from "preventable disease, malnutrition and other consequences of the war".[962] An analysis by the Gaza Health Projections Working Group predicted thousands of excess deaths from disease and birth complications.[963] According to a PCPSR report, over 60% of Gazans have lost family members since 7 October 2023.[964][965] Indirect deaths[967][968] are likely to be multiple times higher.[51][969]
The 7 October attacks on Israel killed 1,195 people, including 815 civilians.[99] A further 479 Palestinians, including 116 children, and 9 Israelis have been killed in the occupied West Bank (including East Jerusalem).[948] Casualties have also occurred in other parts of Israel, as well as in southern Lebanon,[970] Syria,[971] Yemen,[972] and Iran.[973]
According to the Israeli Ministry of Defense's Rehabilitation Division, about 1,000 soldiers are wounded every month.[974] On 14 August 2024, the ministry predicted that it would have to account for 100,000 disabled IDF veterans by 2030 due to the war.[975] In November 2024, Hamas said it killed 20 armed young men from local Bedouin tribes who were stealing humanitarian aid.[976]
Humanitarian crisis
The Gaza Strip is experiencing a humanitarian crisis as a result of the Israel–Hamas war,[977][978] including a hunger crisis, in which famine-like conditions occurred in some areas of the strip and a high risk of famine persists as of October 2024,[979][159] as well as a healthcare collapse. At the start of the war, Israel tightened its blockade on the Gaza Strip, resulting in significant shortages of fuel, food, medication, water, and essential medical supplies.[977][980][981] This siege resulted in a 90% drop in electricity availability, impacting hospital power supplies, sewage plants, and shutting down the desalination plants that provide drinking water.[982] In July 2024, available water worked out to 4.74 litres per person per day, just under a third of the recommended minimum in emergencies.[983] Doctors warned of disease outbreaks spreading due to overcrowded hospitals.[978] A polio epidemic was the target of mostly-successful vaccination campaigns.[984]
Heavy bombardment by Israeli airstrikes caused catastrophic damage to Gaza's infrastructure, further deepening the crisis. Direct attacks on telecommunications infrastructure by Israel, electricity blockades, and fuel shortages caused the near-total collapse of Gaza's largest cell network providers.[985][986][987] Lack of internet access has obstructed Gazan citizens from communicating with loved ones, learning of IDF operations, and identifying both the areas most exposed to bombing and possible escape routes.[985] The blackouts impeded emergency services, making it harder to locate and access the time-critical injured,[985] and have impeded humanitarian aid agencies and journalists.[985] By December 2023, 200,000 Gazans (approximately 10% of the population) had received internet access through an eSIM provided by Connecting Humanity.[988]
The Gaza Health Ministry reported over 4,000 children killed in the war's first month.[989] UN Secretary-General António Guterres stated that Gaza had "become a graveyard for children."[ah][992][993] Indirect Palestinian deaths are expected to be much higher due to the intensity of the conflict, destruction of healthcare infrastructure, lack of food, water, shelter, and safe places for civilians to flee to, and reduction in UNRWA funding, with one Lancet study stating that the death toll in Gaza, including future deaths indirectly caused by the war, might exceed 186,000.[994][995]
Scale of destruction
The scale and pace of destruction and damage of buildings in the Gaza Strip ranks among the severest in modern history,[996][997][998] surpassing the bombing of Dresden, Hamburg, and London combined during World War II,[999][1000][1001][ai] and included apartment buildings, hospitals, schools, religious sites, factories, shopping centres, and municipal infrastructure.[1001] As of January 2024, researchers at Oregon State University and the City University of New York estimated that 50–62% of buildings in the Gaza Strip had been damaged or destroyed.[1003][1004][aj][ak] The damage to buildings in northern Gaza reportedly exceeds that in Bakhmut and Mariupol in the Russian invasion of Ukraine,[1000] Aleppo in the Battle of Aleppo,[996] and Mosul and Raqqa in the War against the Islamic State.[996] The 29,000 munitions Israel had dropped on Gaza in three months exceeded the amount (3,678) dropped by the US between 2004 and 2010 after its invasion of Iraq.[1007] According to satellite analyses, 68% of roads, 70% of greenhouses, and nearly 70% of tree crops have been damaged or destroyed.[1008] After a year, the UN estimates that a total of 42m tonnes of rubble clutter the Strip, to clear and rebuild which might take 80 years and cost over $80bn.[1009] An earlier estimate worked out that 300 kilograms of rubble on average existed per square meter of Gaza.[1010]
The Guardian reported that the scale of destruction has led international legal experts to raise the concept of domicide, which it describes as "the mass destruction of dwellings to make [a] territory uninhabitable".[997] In October 2024, after monitoring and analyzing Israel's war conduct in Gaza for more than a year, Forensic Architecture published a cartographic map platform detailing Israel's campaign in Gaza titled "A Cartography of Genocide", accompanied by an 827-page text report that concludes that "Israel's military campaign in Gaza is organised, systematic, and intended to destroy conditions of life and life-sustaining infrastructure".[1011]
War crimes
A UN Commission to the Israel–Palestine conflict stated that there is "clear evidence that war crimes may have been committed in the latest explosion of violence in Israel and Gaza, and all those who have violated international law and targeted civilians must be held accountable."[1012][1013][1014] On 27 October, a spokesperson for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) called for an independent court to review potential war crimes committed by both sides.[1015]
The International Criminal Court (ICC) confirmed that its mandate to investigate alleged war crimes committed since June 2014 in the State of Palestine extends to the current conflict.[1016][1017] On 20 May, ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan announced his intention to seek arrest warrants against Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif and Ismail Haniyeh and Israeli leaders Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant, for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity during the war.[1018][1019][1020] On 21 November, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant, and Deif for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.[1021][1022][1023]
On 7 June 2024, both Israel and Hamas were added to the list of shame, an annex attached to an annual report submitted by the UN Secretary-General documenting rights violations against children in armed conflict. While past reports accused Israel of grave rights violations against children, the country was never included in the annex.[1024][1025][1026]
On 19 June 2024, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory presented a detailed report to the United Nations Human Rights Council covering the war from 7 October to 31 December 2023, affirming that both Hamas and Israel committed war crimes and that Israel's actions also constituted crimes against humanity.[1027] In a second report, the Commission found that Israel had carried out a policy of destroying Gaza's healthcare system.[1028][1029]
The June report found that the military wing of Hamas and six other Palestinian armed groups were responsible for the war crimes of intentionally directing attacks against civilians, murder or willful killing, torture, inhuman or cruel treatment, destroying or seizing the property, outrages upon personal dignity, and taking hostages, including children.[1030][1031] In relation to IDF operations and attacks in Gaza, the commission concluded that Israeli authorities are responsible for the war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare, murder or willful killing, intentionally directing attacks against civilians and civilian objects, forcible transfer, sexual violence, torture and inhuman or cruel treatment, arbitrary detention and outrages upon personal dignity. It also found that Israel committed numerous crimes against humanity, including carrying out the extermination of Palestinians and gender persecution targeting Palestinian men and boys.[1032][1033][1034] The commission said that they had submitted 7,000 pieces of evidence to the ICC related to crimes committed by Israel and Hamas, as part of the International Criminal Court investigation in Palestine.[1035]
In another report published in October 2024, the commission accused Israel of "committing war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination with relentless and deliberate attacks on medical personnel and facilities" as well as accusing the IDF of deliberately killing and torturing medical personnel, targeting medical vehicles, and restricting patients from leaving Gaza. The report also addressed the detention of Palestinians in Israeli military camps and facilities, finding that thousands of child and adult detainees, many arbitrarily detained, faced widespread abuse, including physical and psychological violence, rape and other forms of sexual and gender-based violence, and conditions amounting to torture, highlighting that deaths resulting from such abuse or neglect constituted war crimes and violations of the right to life. Israel refused to cooperate with the investigation, contending that it had an "anti-Israel" bias.[1029][1036]
On 5 December 2024, Amnesty International published a report concluding that Israel was committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.[1037][1038]
On 19 December 2024, Human Rights Watch published a 179-page report concluding that Israel is responsible for the crime of genocide by intentionally deprived Palestinians in Gaza of access to safe water for drinking and sanitation needed for basic human survival.[1039]
Diplomatic impact
The war sparked a diplomatic crisis, with countries around the world reacting strongly to the conflict that affected the momentum of regional relations.[1040] At least nine countries withdrew their ambassadors and cut diplomatic ties with Israel.[1041][1042] The war has also resulted in a renewed focus on a two-state solution to the broader conflict.[1043][1044] Global public opinion of Israel dropped during the war; a Morning Consult poll published in January 2024 indicated that the United States was the only remaining wealthy country in which Israel had net positive approval.[1045]
Negotiations have focused on the possibility of a ceasefire, with Egypt and Qatar serving as negotiation mediators between Israel and Hamas.[1046][1047] The United Nations Security Council passed resolution 2728 in March 2024, demanding an immediate ceasefire and the unconditional release of hostages for the month of Ramadan.[1048][1049]
Following talks mediated by China, on 23 July 2024, Palestinian groups including Hamas and Fatah reached an agreement to end their divisions and form a unity government for Gaza, which they announced in the Beijing Declaration.[1050]
At the UNGA, Saudi Arabia announced a global alliance to seek a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said almost 90 countries were at the launch of The Global Alliance for the Implementation of a Palestinian State and a Two-State Solution.[1051][1052][1053] On 29 September, Saudi Arabia said they would send aid to the Palestinian Authority, $60 million in six installments according to a senior PA official. The aid is seen as means of keeping the PA solvent and keeping the push for a two state solution alive notwithstanding Israeli financial restrictions.[1054]
Reactions
Israel
The Israeli government's response to the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel has multiple aspects, including a military response leading to the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip. In October, the Knesset approved a war cabinet in Israel, adding National Unity ministers and altering the government; Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz froze non-war legislation, establishing a war cabinet with military authority.
Settler expansions and officials' remarks heightened unrest, leading to protests in Israel. The Knesset's law criminalizing "terrorist materials" consumption drew criticism.[1055]
In an interview to the Wall Street Journal on 25 December, Netanyahu said that Israel's objectives were to "destroy Hamas, demilitarize Gaza and deradicalize the whole of Palestinian society".[1056] There was broad support in Israeli society for military operations in Gaza.[1057][1058] Public opinion poll conducted in December 2023 by the Israel Democracy Institute found that 87% of Jewish Israelis supported the war in Gaza.[1059]
Palestinian territories
Initially, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas asserted the Palestinian people's right to self-defense against the "terror of settlers and occupation troops"[1060] and condemned the orders by Israel for residents to evacuate north Gaza, labeling it a "second Nakba".[1061] Later, Abbas rejected the killing of civilians on both sides, and said that the Palestinian Liberation Organization was the sole representative of the Palestinian people.[1062]
International
This section needs to be updated. (May 2024) |
Significant geopolitical divisions emerged during the war. Much of the Western world provided strong diplomatic and military support to Israel,[1063] including the United States,[1064] United Kingdom,[1065] and Germany,[1066] however several European nations have been less supportive of Israel's actions, most notably Spain, Norway, and Ireland who formally recognised the State of Palestine in a coordinated move in June 2024.[1067] Spain and Ireland have also supported South Africa's genocide case against Israel.[1068][1069] This has led to retaliatory action by Israel, who recalled its ambassadors to all three countries and later announced that it would be closing its embassy in Dublin.[1070][1071][1072] Hugh Lovatt of the European Council on Foreign Relations says that during the Cold War, Israel sided with the West against the Arab countries supported by the Soviets, and Western leaders generally see Israel "as a fellow member of the liberal democratic club" and that this partially "explains the continued strong Western support for Israel – which has now largely become reflexive".[1063] At least 44 nations denounced Hamas and explicitly condemned its conduct on 7 October as terrorism, including a joint statement by the US, UK, France, Italy, and Germany.[1073]
In contrast, the Islamic world and much of the Global South denounced the actions of Israel and its allies, criticizing the "moral authority of the West" and alleging that it holds double standards surrounding human rights.[1063][1074] The double standards, in their view, is condemning an illegal occupation in Ukraine while standing firmly behind Israel that has occupied Palestinian lands.[1075] Bolivia has cut all ties with Israel as a result of the conflict, while Colombia and Chile recalled their ambassadors to the country.[317][1074]
The United States, United Kingdom, and Germany have supplied Israel with substantial military and medical aid.[1065][1076][1077]
The Israeli government's response prompted international protests, arrests, and harassment.[1078]
Evacuations of foreign nationals
Brazil announced a rescue operation of nationals using an air force transport aircraft.[1079] Poland announced that it would deploy two C-130 transport planes to evacuate 200 Polish nationals.[1080] Hungary evacuated 215 of its nationals from Israel using two aircraft on 9 October, while Romania evacuated 245 of its citizens, including two pilgrimage groups, on two TAROM planes and two private aircraft on the same day.[1081] Australia also announced repatriation flights.[1082] 300 Nigerian pilgrims in Israel fled to Jordan before being airlifted home.[1083]
On 12 October, the United Kingdom arranged flights for its citizens in Israel; the first plane departed Ben Gurion Airport that day. The government had said before that it would not be evacuating its nationals due to available commercial flights. However, most commercial flights were suspended.[1084] Nepal arranged a flight to evacuate at least 254 of its citizens who were studying in Israel.[1085] India launched Operation Ajay to evacuate its citizens from Israel.[1086] Ukraine facilitated the evacuation of ~450 of its citizens from Israel as of 18 October, with additional evacuation flights planned for the near future.[1087]
Impacts
Regional impact
According to Daniel Byman and Alexander Palmer, the attack showcased the decline of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the rise of Hamas as a power center in Palestinian politics. They predicted the PLO's further decline if the status quo held.[1088] Laith Alajlouni wrote that the immediate effect of the Hamas offensive was to unite Hamas and PLO.[1089]
Amit Segal, chief political commentator for Israel's Channel 12, said that the conflict would test Benjamin Netanyahu's survival as prime minister, noting that past wars had toppled the governments of several of his predecessors such as that of Golda Meir following the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Menachem Begin following the 1982 Lebanon War, and Ehud Olmert following the 2006 Lebanon War.[1090] Citing the Israeli intelligence failure, which some observers attributed to the incumbent government focusing more on internal dissent, the judicial reform, and efforts to deepen Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories,[1091] some commentators criticized Netanyahu for putting aside the PLO and propping up Hamas,[1092] and described him as a liability.[1093][1094]
In an analysis by The Times of Israel, the newspaper wrote, "Hamas has violently shifted the world's eyes back to the Palestinians and dealt a severe blow to the momentum for securing a landmark US-brokered deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia."[1095] Andreas Kluth wrote in his Bloomberg News column that Hamas "torched Biden's deal to remake the Middle East", arguing that the deal that was being discussed between Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the US would have left Palestinians in the cold, so the group decided to "blow the whole thing up". He added that viewed from Gaza, things were only going to get worse, considering that Netanyahu's coalition partners opposed a two-state solution. He suggested they would prefer to annex the entirety of the West Bank, even at the expense of turning Israel into an apartheid state.[1096]
Economic impact
The Bank of Israel estimates that by 2025, the war will have cost the country US$67 billion, notwithstanding a $14.5 billion US aid package, part of the $22.76 billion the U.S. has so far allocated for military assistance.[1097][1098]
As early as 9 November 2023, the Bank of Israel reported that the drop in labor supply caused by the war was costing the Israeli economy $600 million a week, or 6% of weekly GDP. The bank also stated that the estimate did not include damage caused by the absence of Palestinian and foreign workers.[1099] In the final quarter of 2023, the Israeli economy shrank by 5.2% quarter-to-quarter due to labour shortages in construction and from the mobilization of 300,000 reservists.[1100] While Israel did still see economic growth of 2%, this was down from 6.5% growth in the year before the war. Consumer spending declined by 27%, imports declined by 42% and exports declined by 18%.
Israel's high-tech factories reported in December that recent bureaucratic obstacles with electronic imports from China had led to higher import costs and delayed delivery times.[1101] Israeli officials also reported that China had refused to send workers to their country during the war against the backdrop of a worker shortage in Israel's construction and farming sectors.[1102] China's actions were described as a de facto sanction.[1103][1101]
The 3,500-member Water Transport Workers Federation of India said it would refuse to operate shipments carrying weapons to Israel.[1104] The declaration came a few months after one Indian company halted production of Israeli police uniforms due to the war in Gaza.[1105]
About 9,855 Thai workers in the agricultural sector, 4,331 workers in the construction sector and 2,997 in the nursing sector left Israel following the 7 October attack. In addition, the prevention of 85,000 Palestinian workers from entering Israel created a shortage of about 100,000 foreign and Palestinian workers.[1106]
It has been calculated that the carbon cost in terms of climate impact of rebuilding Gaza would exceed the annual greenhouse emissions of 135 countries.[1107]
Media coverage
In reporting on the conflict, foreign media have limited access to Gaza and only in the presence of Israeli soldiers. Vox reported that the news organizations "have to submit all materials and footage to the IDF for review before publication".[1108] The conflict has also seen large numbers of journalists wounded or killed in action. On 14 December, CBS reported on a statement from the International Federation of Journalists that "the number of journalists killed in the past two months in the war in Gaza has surpassed the amount killed in the Vietnam War, which lasted two decades".[1109] Reporters Without Borders filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court under section 8.2.b of the Rome Statute, accusing Israel of committing war crimes against 8 journalists.[1110][1108] It also lodged a complaint against Hamas, under section 8.2.a of the Rome Statute for the killing of a reporter covering the 7 October attack.[1110] The Committee to Protect Journalists accused Israel of targeting journalists reporting from Gaza and their families, saying that in at least two cases, "journalists reported receiving threats from Israeli officials and Israel Defense Forces officers before their family members were killed".[1111]

The "Lavender" system is designed to identify individuals suspected of being part of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), even targeting those with lower ranks for potential aerial bombardments. In the initial stages of the conflict, the military heavily relied on Lavender, leading to the system labeling up to 37,000 Palestinians as militants, along with their residences, for potential airstrikes.

The ratio of people killed in war to those dying indirectly because of a conflict is explored in the chapter on indirect deaths (INDIRECT CONFLICT DEATHS). Studies show that between three and 15 times as many people die indirectly for every person who dies violently.

In recent conflicts, such indirect deaths range from three to 15 times the number of direct deaths. Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza. Using the 2022 Gaza Strip population estimate of 2,375,259, this would translate to 7.9% of the total population in the Gaza Strip.

A regime that uses laws, practices and organized violence to cement the supremacy of one group over another is an apartheid regime. Israeli apartheid, which promotes the supremacy of Jews over Palestinians, was not born in one day or of a single speech. It is a process that has gradually grown more institutionalized and explicit, with mechanisms introduced over time in law and practice to promote Jewish supremacy. These accumulated measures, their pervasiveness in legislation and political practice, and the public and judicial support they receive – all form the basis for our conclusion that the bar for labeling the Israeli regime as apartheid has been met.

For instance, the Geneva Declaration Secretariat's review of prior conflicts found that indirect deaths have, for most conflicts since the 1990s, been three to fifteen-fold higher than direct deaths, and suggest a ratio of four to one as a "conservative" estimate. There are reasons to think this ratio could be on the low end in Gaza given, among other things, the protracted and brutal siege.

Beyond the courtroom drama, experts say divisions over the war in Gaza symbolize a widening gap between Israel and its traditional Western allies, notably the United States and Europe, and a group of nations known as the Global South – countries located primarily in the southern hemisphere, often characterized by lower income levels and developing economies... Israel sided with the West against Soviet-backed Arab regimes during the Cold War, and Western countries largely view it "as a fellow member of the liberal democratic club", he added. "Some of this explains the continued strong Western support for Israel – which has now largely become reflexive."

The carbon cost of rebuilding Gaza will be greater than the annual greenhouse gas emissions generated individually by 135 countries, exacerbating the global climate emergency on top of the unprecedented death toll, new research reveals. Reconstructing the estimated 200,000 apartment buildings, schools, universities, hospitals, mosques, bakeries, water and sewage plants damaged and destroyed by Israel in the first four months of the war on Gaza will generate as much as 60m tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e), according to new analysis by researchers in the UK and US. This is on a par with the total 2022 emissions generated by countries such as Portugal and Sweden – and more than twice the annual emissions of Afghanistan.
