Israel and Gaza

Following the Hamas-led assault into southern Israel on October 7th 2023, the Israeli military began a major bombing campaign and later ground invasion of Gaza. The resultant ongoing war has seen large-scale destruction and loss of life.

Airwars has documented allegations of civilian harm from Israeli actions since October 2023, and has produced a number of major investigations and research outputs on the allegations and harm.
