Israel and Gaza (from 2023)
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 thousands of 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.
Civilian Casualty Incidents
With an archive of civilian harm now reaching hundreds of records, this section helps users navigate to particular trends as identified by Airwars’ researchers, to help make sense of the patterns of harm as they are unfolding. This is intended to complement our advanced filter section, by spotlighting often under-reported cases of harm.
