Palestinian territories

Consisting of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, the internationally recognised Palestinian territories have been under Israeli occupation since 1967. In recent decades Israel has fought a number of wars with Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups.

Airwars documented hundreds of allegations of civilian harm in both Israel and Gaza in the May 2021 war. Since 2023, Airwars has sought to capture all harm allegations in Gaza. This also includes numerous major investigations and reports.
