Names

The Gaza war is referred to by different names. Israel calls it the "iron swords war" (Hebrew: מלחמת חרבות ברזל).³⁴³⁵ It has also been referred to as the "Simchat Torah war", as the war started on the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, reminiscent of the Yom Kippur War.³⁶ Palestinian militant groups refer to it as the "battle of al-Aqsa Flood" (Arabic: معركة طوفان الأقصى), in reference to Operation al-Aqsa Flood.³⁷³⁸ Western media outlets have variably described it as the "Israel–Hamas war"³⁹ or the "Israel–Gaza war",⁴⁰ while others use "war on Gaza".⁴¹ Others have used the term "October 7 war".⁴²⁴³ Some have rejected "war" as an appropriate framework and call it the "Gaza genocide",⁴⁴⁴⁵ "second Nakba",⁴⁶ or "Nakba 2023".⁴⁷⁴⁸

Background

Main article: Background to the Gaza war

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.⁴⁹ The upcoming period witnessed two popular uprisings by Palestinians against the Israeli occupation; the First and Second Intifadas in 1987 and 2000 respectively,⁵⁰ with the latter's end seeing Israel's unilateral withdrawal from Gaza in 2005.⁵¹⁵²

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,⁵³⁵⁴ that significantly damaged its economy.⁵⁵ The blockade was justified by Israel citing security concerns,⁵⁶ but international rights groups have characterized the blockade as a form of collective punishment.⁵⁷⁵⁸⁵⁹ 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.⁶⁰⁶¹

Since 2007, Israel and Hamas, along with other Palestinian militant groups based in Gaza, have engaged in conflict,⁶²⁶³⁶⁴ including in four wars: in 2008–2009, 2012, 2014, and 2021.⁶⁵⁶⁶ These conflicts killed approximately 6,400 Palestinians and 300 Israelis.⁶⁷⁶⁸⁶⁹ 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.⁷⁰⁷¹ Soon after the 2021 Israel–Palestine crisis began, Hamas' military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, started planning the 7 October 2023 operation against Israel.⁷²⁷³ 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.⁷⁴

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.⁷⁵⁷⁶⁷⁷ Numerous commentators have identified the broader context of Israeli occupation as a cause of the war.⁷⁸⁷⁹⁸⁰ The Associated Press wrote that Palestinians are "in despair over a never-ending occupation in the West Bank and suffocating blockade of Gaza".⁸¹ Several human rights organizations, including Amnesty International,⁸² B'Tselem⁸³ and Human Rights Watch⁸⁴ have likened the Israeli occupation to apartheid, although supporters of Israel dispute this characterization.⁸⁵⁸⁶ 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.⁸⁷ The Netanyahu government has been criticized within Israel for granting work permits to Gazan residents, facilitating the transfer of funds to Hamas and pursuing relative calm. These actions have been criticized as having backfired in light of the attacks on 7 October 2023.⁸⁸⁸⁹⁹⁰ US President Joe Biden has said the aim of the 7 October attacks was to disrupt the Saudi–Israel normalization talks.⁹¹

7 October Hamas-led attack on Israel

Main article: 7 October Hamas-led attack on Israel

See also: List of Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel in 2023

In the morning of 7 October 2023,⁹² during the Jewish holidays of Simchat Torah and Shemini Atzeret on Shabbat,⁹³ Hamas announced the start of what it called "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood", firing between 3,000 and 5,000 rockets from the Gaza Strip into Israel within a span of 20 minutes, killing at least five people.⁹⁴⁹⁵⁹⁶ In the evening, Hamas launched another barrage of 150 rockets towards Israel.⁹⁷ Simultaneously, around 3,000 Hamas militants⁹⁸ infiltrated Israel from Gaza using trucks, motorcycles, bulldozers, speedboats, and paragliders.^99100101 They took over checkpoints at Kerem Shalom and Erez, and created openings in the border fence in five other places.¹⁰²

Militants massacred civilians in several kibbutzim,¹⁰³¹⁰⁴ where they took hostages¹⁰⁵ and set fire to homes.¹⁰⁶ In one massacre at an outdoor music festival near Re'im, at least 325 people were killed, with more injured or taken hostage.¹⁰⁷¹⁰⁸ In total, 251 people, mostly civilians, were taken hostage, including¹⁰⁹¹¹⁰ children, elderly people, and soldiers.¹¹¹ Hamas militants also reportedly engaged in mutilation, torture, and sexual and gender-based violence.^112113114

The 7 October attack was described as "an intelligence failure for the ages"¹¹⁵ and a "failure of imagination" on the part of the Israeli government.¹¹⁶ A BBC report commented on Hamas's "extraordinary levels of operational security".¹¹⁷ It later emerged that abnormal Hamas movements had been detected the previous day by Israeli intelligence, but the military's alert level was not raised and political leaders were not informed.¹¹⁸

A briefing in The Economist noted that "the assault dwarf[ed] all other mass murders of Israeli civilians", and that "the last time before October 7th that this many Jews were murdered on a single day was during the Holocaust."¹¹⁹ 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.^120121122 According to both Hamas officials and external observers, the attack was a calculated effort to create a "permanent" state of war and revive interest in the Palestinian cause.¹²³¹²⁴

The IDF began Israel's counter-attack several hours after the Hamas-led invasion.¹²⁵ The first helicopters sent to support the military arrived at the Gaza Strip an hour after fighting began.¹²⁶ They encountered difficulties in determining which places were occupied, and distinguishing between civilians, IDF soldiers, and Palestinian militants on the ground.¹²⁷ A June 2024 UN report¹²⁸¹²⁹ and a July 2024 Haaretz investigation revealed that the IDF ordered the Hannibal Directive to be used, killing many Israeli civilians and soldiers.¹³⁰¹³¹ An ABC News (Australia) investigation reported that at least 13 civilians were killed in a 'Hannibal' incident in Beeri. At 6:40 p.m., anticipating that militants would flee back to Gaza, the Israeli army launched artillery strikes targeting the border fence area. The IDF said it was not aware of any civilians being hurt in these bombardments,¹³² but eyewitness accounts and testimony contradicted the IDF's official review, which exonerated itself.¹³³¹³⁴

The attack was a complete surprise to the Israelis.¹³⁵ In a televised broadcast, Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, announced that the country was at war.¹³⁶ 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.¹³⁷¹³⁸ 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".¹³⁹ The Israel Electric Corporation, which supplies 80% of the Gaza Strip's electricity, cut off power to the area.¹⁴⁰ This reduced Gaza's power supply from 120 MW to 20 MW, provided by power plants paid for by the Palestinian Authority.¹⁴¹

The IDF declared a "state of readiness for war",¹⁴² mobilized tens of thousands of army reservists,¹⁴³¹⁴⁴ and declared a state of emergency for areas within 80 kilometers (50 mi) of Gaza.¹⁴⁵ The Yamam counterterrorism unit was deployed,¹⁴⁶ along with four new divisions, augmenting 31 existing battalions.¹⁴⁷ Reservists were reported deployed in Gaza, in the West Bank, and along borders with Lebanon and Syria.¹⁴⁸ Residents near Gaza were asked to stay inside, while civilians in southern and central Israel were "required to stay next to shelters".¹⁴⁹ The southern region of Israel was closed to civilian movement,¹⁵⁰ and roads were closed around Gaza¹⁵¹ and Tel Aviv.¹⁵² While Ben Gurion Airport and Ramon Airport remained operational, multiple airlines cancelled flights to and from Israel.¹⁵³ 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.¹⁵⁴

Following the surprise attack, the Israeli Air Force conducted airstrikes that they said targeted Hamas targets,^155156157 employing its artificial intelligence Habsora ("The Gospel") software.¹⁵⁸¹⁵⁹ These airstrikes were killing, on average, 350 persons per day during the first twenty days, totaling over 7,000 deaths during that time.¹⁶⁰ Israel also rescued two hostages before declaring a state of war for the first time since the 1973 Yom Kippur War.¹⁶¹¹⁶² On 9 October, Defense Minister Gallant announced a "complete siege" of the Gaza Strip, cutting off electricity and blocking the entry of food and fuel.¹⁶³ This order drew criticism from Human Rights Watch (HRW) who described it as "abhorrent" and as a "call to commit a war crime".¹⁶⁴¹⁶⁵ Gallant backed down under pressure from US President Joe Biden, and a deal was struck ten days later to allow aid into Gaza.¹⁶⁶ The first such aid convoy entered Gaza on 21 October,¹⁶⁷ while fuel did not arrive until November.¹⁶⁸

On 13 October, the IDF ordered all civilians in Gaza City to evacuate to areas south of the Wadi Gaza¹⁶⁹ within 24 hours. The Hamas Authority for Refugee Affairs responded by telling residents in northern Gaza to defy those orders.¹⁷⁰ The Israeli order was widely condemned as "outrageous" and "impossible", and calls were made for it to be reversed.¹⁷¹ As a part of the order, the IDF outlined a six-hour window on 13 October for refugees to flee south along specified routes.¹⁷² An explosion along one of the safe routes killed 70 Palestinians. Israel and Hamas blamed each other for the attack.¹⁷³ The IDF said Hamas set up roadblocks to keep Gaza residents from evacuating.¹⁷⁴ Israeli officials, foreign governments and intergovernmental organizations condemned Hamas's use of hospitals and civilians as human shields, which it denied doing.¹⁷⁵¹⁷⁶

On 17 October, Israel bombed areas of southern Gaza.¹⁷⁷ 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 ongoing conflict prevented independent on-site analysis.¹⁷⁸ 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,¹⁷⁹ who denied any involvement.¹⁸⁰¹⁸¹

For a chronological guide, see Timeline of the Gaza war (28 October – 23 November 2023) and Timeline of the Gaza war (24 November 2023 – 11 January 2024).

Main article: Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip

On 27 October, after building up an invasion force of over 100,000 soldiers, the IDF launched a large-scale ground incursion into parts of northern Gaza.¹⁸²¹⁸³ Israeli airstrikes targeted the area around al-Quds hospital,¹⁸⁴ where around 14,000 civilians were believed to be sheltering.¹⁸⁵ The following day, the IDF struck Jabalia refugee camp, killing 50 and wounding 150 Palestinians. Israel said the attack killed a senior Hamas commander, whose presence Hamas denied, and dozens of militants.^186187188 The attack resulted in several ambassador recalls.^189190191

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".¹⁹² On 1 November, the first group of evacuees left Gaza for Egypt. Five hundred evacuees, comprising critically wounded and foreign nationals, were evacuated over several days.¹⁹³ On 18 November, Israel struck a marked Médecins Sans Frontières convoy, killing two aid workers.¹⁹⁴ On 22 November, Israel and Hamas reached a temporary ceasefire agreement, providing for a four-day pause¹⁹⁵ in hostilities to allow for the release of 50 hostages held in Gaza.¹⁹⁶¹⁹⁷ The deal also provided for the release of approximately 150 Palestinian women and children incarcerated by Israel.¹⁹⁸

Resumption of hostilities (December 2023 – January 2024)

For a chronological guide, see Timeline of the Gaza war (12 January – 6 May 2024).

Israel adopted a grid system to order precise evacuations within Gaza. It was criticized as inaccessible, due to the lack of electricity and internet connectivity in Gaza, and confusing. Some evacuation instructions were vague or contradictory,¹⁹⁹²⁰⁰ and Israel sometimes struck areas it had told people to evacuate to.^201202203 Law experts called these warnings ineffective.²⁰⁴ Amnesty International found no evidence of Hamas targets at the sites of some strikes, and requested that they be investigated as possible war crimes.²⁰⁵ On 6 December, Refaat Alareer, a prominent professor and writer in Gaza, was killed by an Israeli airstrike.²⁰⁶ His poem "If I Must Die" was widely circulated after his death.²⁰⁷

In December, the IDF reported its troops had reached the centers of Khan Yunis, Jabalia, and Shuja'iyya.²⁰⁸ Intensified bombing pushed Palestinian civilians south to Rafah.²⁰⁹ Between 7 December and 10 December, Israel detained more than 150 men; according to Israel, they surrendered en masse,²¹⁰²¹¹ but this account was disputed by several publications.^212213214 On 15 December, the IDF killed three Israeli hostages in a friendly fire incident, after mistakenly identifying them as enemies.^215216217 The same day, Pope Francis condemned the killing of two women sheltering at a convent as "terrorism."²¹⁸

On 1 January 2024, Israel withdrew from neighborhoods in North Gaza.²¹⁹ On 15 January, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said the most intense fighting in the north of the Gaza Strip had ended, and a new phase of low-intensity fighting was about to begin.²²⁰ By 18 January, the IDF, who had previously stated that Hamas control over North Gaza was "dismantled", reported that Hamas had significantly rebuilt its fighting strength in North Gaza.²²¹

On 22 January, 24 IDF soldiers died in the deadliest day for the IDF since the invasion began. Of these, 21 died when Palestinian militants fired an RPG at a tank, causing adjacent buildings to collapse.^222223224 On 29 January, Israeli forces killed Hind Rajab, a five-year-old girl, and six of her family members when the car they were driving was struck by an Israeli tank and machine gun fire; two rescue workers who attempted to retrieve Rajab were also killed.²²⁵ The Red Crescent released the audio from Rajab's phone call with rescue workers, causing international outrage over her death.²²⁶

Build-up to the Rafah offensive (February–April 2024)

Main article: Background of the Rafah offensive

Between February and May 2024, preparations to invade Rafah became a dominant theme in Israeli officials' public rhetoric. On 12 February, Israel started a bombing campaign on Rafah.²²⁷ Food supplies became an increasing issue. On 5 February, Israeli gunboats shelled a clearly marked UNRWA convoy, forcing UNRWA to suspend its operations for almost 3 weeks, affecting 200,000 people.²²⁸ On 29 February, Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinians waiting for food aid southwest of Gaza City, killing 100 and wounding 750. Some of the victims were run over by trucks as panic spread.²²⁹ Survivors described it as an intentional ambush by Israeli forces.²³⁰²³¹ On 1 March, the United States announced it would begin an operation to airdrop food aid into Gaza.²³² Some experts called the initiative performative, saying it would not alleviate the food situation.²³³ During his State of the Union Address, Biden announced that a temporary port on Gaza's coast would be constructed to enable aid delivery.²³⁴

Al-Shifa Hospital, previously besieged in November 2023, was raided again between 18 March and 1 April.²³⁵ Israeli forces killed Faiq al-Mabhouh, who they said was head of the operations directorate of Hamas' internal security service. Hamas said al-Mabhouh was in charge of civil law enforcement and had been coordinating aid deliveries to north Gaza.²³⁶²³⁷ The IDF said it killed 200 people in the hospital fighting, including senior Hamas leaders; this account was disputed.²³⁸²³⁹ Survivors denied that militants had organised on the hospital grounds.²⁴⁰ Israeli forces were accused of reducing the hospital to a "blown out, fire-blackened" state, and of massacring 400 Palestinians.^241242243

A 25 March UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza for Ramadan²⁴⁴ was ignored by the IDF.²⁴⁵ On 1 April, seven international aid workers from World Central Kitchen (WCK) were killed in an Israeli airstrike south of Deir al-Balah.^246247248 WCK, who said their vehicles were clearly marked and their location known to Israel, subsequently withdrew from operating in Gaza alongside ANERA and Project HOPE.²⁴⁹²⁵⁰ On 4 April, Israel opened the Erez Crossing for the first time since 7 October after US pressure.²⁵¹

By 6 March, Israel had completed a new east–west road in Gaza. It was intended to mobilize troops and supplies, to connect and defend IDF positions on al-Rashid and Salah al-Din streets, and prevent people in the south of Gaza from returning to the north.²⁵² On 7 April, Israel withdrew from the south Gaza Strip, with only one brigade remaining in the Netzarim Corridor in the north.²⁵³ Palestinians displaced from that city began to return from the south of the Gaza Strip.²⁵⁴ Israel planned to initiate its ground offensive in Rafah around mid-April, but postponed to consider its response to the Iranian strikes on Israel.²⁵⁵ On 25 April, Israel intensified strikes on Rafah ahead of its threatened invasion.²⁵⁶²⁵⁷

Main article: Rafah offensive

On 6 May, the IDF ordered 100,000 civilians in eastern Rafah to evacuate to Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Yunis.²⁵⁸ Later that day, Hamas announced that it had accepted the terms of a ceasefire brokered by Egypt and Qatar.²⁵⁹ The deal included a 6-week ceasefire and exchange of prisoners.²⁶⁰ However, Israel rejected this deal.²⁶¹ Israel said that it found the terms unacceptable, but that it would continue to negotiate while the military operation on Rafah was ongoing to "exert military pressure on Hamas".²⁶²²⁶³ On 31 May, the United States announced a ceasefire framework for ending the war.²⁶⁴

The same day, the IDF entered the outskirts of Rafah,^265266267 seizing control of the Gaza side of the Rafah Crossing to Egypt the following day.²⁶⁸²⁶⁹ On 11 May, the IDF ordered more residents to evacuate eastern and central Rafah.²⁷⁰ By 15 May, an estimated 600,000 had fled Rafah and another 100,000 from the north, according to the United Nations.²⁷¹

On 24 May, the United Nations said only 906 aid truckloads had reached Gaza since Israel's Rafah operation began.²⁷² Israel bombed the Tel al-Sultan displacement camp in Rafah on 26 May, killing at least 45 people, allegedly including two senior Hamas officials.^273274275 This provoked a skirmish between Egyptian and Israeli soldiers at the Gaza border in which one Egyptian soldier was killed.²⁷⁶ Less than 48 hours afterwards, another evacuation zone, the Al-Mawasi refugee camp, was bombed, killing at least 21 people.^277278279 The IDF denied involvement in the attack.²⁸⁰

On 6 June, Israel bombed a school in the Nuseirat refugee camp, killing dozens. Two days later, Israel conducted an attack on Nuseirat refugee camp which resulted in the rescue of four hostages²⁸¹²⁸² and the deaths of 274 Palestinians.²⁸³ On 27 June, Israeli forces re-invaded the al-Shuja'iyya neighborhood.²⁸⁴ According to Middle East Monitor and ReliefWeb, between 4 July and 10 August, Israel attacked 21 schools in Gaza, killing 274 people.²⁸⁵²⁸⁶

On 13 October, senior IDF officials told Haaretz that the government was not seeking to revive hostage talks and that political leadership was pushing for the annexation of parts of the Gaza Strip.³³⁹ In the later weeks of October, Israel's siege of North Gaza intensified and daily aid shipments dropped significantly. Eyewitnesses reported the shelling of hospitals, razing of shelters, and abductions of men and boys by the Israeli military, leading to speculation that Israel had decided to implement a plan by a group of retired generals to turn the northern Strip into a closed military zone and declare all who refuse to leave as combatants.³⁴⁰ On 5 November, Israeli Brigadier General Itzik Cohen told reporters that "there is no intention of allowing the residents of the northern Gaza Strip to return" and that no food aid had entered northern Gaza because there were "no more civilians left".³⁴¹

The IDF continued its encirclement of Jabalia by sending tanks to Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun and issuing evacuation orders to residents.³⁴² On 24 October, an IDF attack destroyed at least 10 residential buildings in the Jabalia refugee camp. According to an assessment by Gaza Civil Defense, 150 people were killed or injured.³⁴³ On 25 October, the WHO said it had lost contact with Kamal Adwan hospital, and UN human rights chief Volker Türk called recent developments in North Gaza the "darkest moment" in the war so far.³⁴⁴ 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.³⁴⁵ Residents of northern Gaza said in November that no aid had reached their cities since 5 October.³⁴⁶ The UN warned that the situation had become "apocalyptic" and that "The entire Palestinian population in North Gaza is at imminent risk of dying from disease, famine and violence".³⁴⁷ On 2 November, UNICEF said that over 50 children were killed in Israeli strikes in Jabalia in the past two days.³⁴⁸ On 12 November, aid in Gaza fell to its lowest level in 11 months despite a US ultimatum that it be restored.³⁴⁹

Israeli resumption of hostilities

Main article: March 2025 Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip

On 18 March, Israel launched attacks across Gaza, killing over 400 and ending the ceasefire.^360361362363 Mahmoud Abu Wafah, one of the highest-ranking Hamas members in Gaza, was reportedly killed by the strikes.³⁶⁴ Israel stated the attack was due to the refusal of Hamas to extend the first phase of the ceasefire by releasing more hostages, and was also in response to Hamas's rearming and reorganizing over the course of the two months of ceasefire. Hamas said that it had adhered to the ceasefire agreement, implementing it precisely, and that Israel had resumed aggression and war. Internationally, the strikes were seen to stymie hopes for a lasting ceasefire.³⁶⁵ Observers have noted that Israel chose to launch the attack on the day Netanyahu would testify in his corruption trial, forcing the legal proceedings to be postponed.³⁶⁶

Multiple senior members of Hamas were killed during this round of fighting, including Issam al-Da'alis, whose position is akin to the Prime Minister of Gaza, Salah al-Bardawil³⁶⁷ and Ismail Barhoum (members of the political bureau),^368369370 Mahmoud Abu Watfa (undersecretary of the Interior Ministry of the Gaza Strip) and Bahjat Abu Sultan (chief of internal security).

On 15 January 2025, an agreement was announced between Israel and Hamas, through the mediation of Qatar, in which Hamas agreed to release a number of Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip since the 7 October attack in exchange for Hamas militants and other Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli prisons. The two parties also agreed to a ceasefire for the second time during the war;³⁸³ it went into effect on the morning of 19 January 2025.³⁸⁴ On 27 January, tens of thousands of Palestinians began a mass return to northern Gaza after Israel opened a corridor for civilian movement following a 48-hour delay.³⁸⁵ Hamas claimed that Israel had violated the terms of the ceasefire, and announced the suspension of the release of Israeli hostages on 10 February.³⁸⁶ After Netanyahu and Trump threatened to restart fighting in Gaza,³⁸⁷ Hamas relented on 13 February,³⁸⁸ allowing the release of hostages to begin again two days later.³⁸⁹ On 22 February, Hamas released six Israeli hostages;³⁹⁰ however, Israel refused to release the 600 Palestinian prisoners, with Netanyahu objecting to the "use of hostages for propaganda" and saying that Israel would release the prisoners once the next hostage release was guaranteed without the ceremonies.³⁹¹ On 25 February, Israel and Hamas reached a deal to exchange the bodies of Israeli hostages who were agreed to be handed over during the first phase for releasing hundreds of Palestinian prisoners without public ceremony.³⁹²

On 1 March, the day the first phase of the ceasefire was scheduled to end, Hamas rejected an Israeli proposal to extend it to release more hostages, demanding the implementation of the second phase.³⁹³ Negotiations for implementing the second phase of the ceasefire agreement, intended to see the release of all remaining living hostages, the withdrawal of the Israeli military from Gaza and a permanent end to the war, were supposed to have begun in February, sixteen days after the initial ceasefire began, but never happened.³⁹⁴³⁹⁵ Netanyahu's office said that Israel endorsed a US plan to extend the Gaza truce for the Ramadan and Passover periods. Under this plan, half of the living and dead hostages would be released on the first day of the extended truce and the remaining hostages would be released at the end of the period if a permanent truce was reached. It claimed that the initial deal allowed Israel to resume war at any moment after 1 March if negotiations were deemed ineffective. Following Hamas's refusal to accept the US proposal,³⁹⁶³⁹⁷ Netanyahu ceased the entry of aid to Gaza the next day.³⁹⁸³⁹⁹

The humanitarian aid blockade was condemned by mediators, namely Egypt, as a violation of the ceasefire, which stipulated that phase one would automatically be extended as long as phase two negotiations were in progress.⁴⁰⁰⁴⁰¹ On 9 March, Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen ordered a halt to supply of Israeli electricity to Gaza.⁴⁰² On 14 March, Hamas said that it agreed to a proposal from mediators to release Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander and the bodies of four dual-national hostages.⁴⁰³⁴⁰⁴ The U.S. and Israel rejected the offer, which did not conform to their joint proposal calling for the release of five living hostages on the first day of an extended ceasefire.⁴⁰⁵⁴⁰⁶ On 18 March, Israel launched surprise airstrikes on Gaza as Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz declared that Israel has "returned to fighting in Gaza".⁴⁰⁷

Post-war plans

Main article: Potential American ownership of the Gaza Strip

After the announcement of a second ceasefire in January 2025, Donald Trump announced his intention to displace the Palestinian population of Gaza, reiterating his position that they should be resettled in neighboring Arab countries three more times that month.⁴⁰⁸ Ahead of a 4 February meeting with Netanyahu, Trump specified his intention to permanently displace Gaza's Palestinian inhabitants, which would be in violation of international law. He proposed a US takeover of Gaza that evening during a press conference with Netanyahu.⁴⁰⁹

Trump insisted that neighboring countries would pay for Gaza's reconstruction and that "world people" would live there. He did not rule out deploying US troops if necessary. On 5 and 6 February, Trump aides and Trump himself walked back some of his comments, including his willingness to deploy US soldiers. On 10 February, Trump said that Palestinians who leave Gaza would have no right of return. In a meeting with King Abdullah II of Jordan, Trump said that the US would take rather than buy Gaza because "It's a war torn area. It's Gaza. There is nothing to buy."⁴¹⁰ Trump had proposed Jordan take in the displaced Palestinians from Gaza, which Jordanian foreign minister Ayman Safadi categorically rejected, stating "They don't want to come to Jordan and we don't want them to come to Jordan."⁴¹¹

These statements were met with condemnation from world leaders; however, in Israel, far-right Jewish supremacist Itamar Ben-Gvir praised Trump, saying that Palestinian "migration" was the only solution to the war.⁴¹² Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir characterized the planned displacement of Gazans as a "voluntary migration", but communications minister Shlomo Karhi said the transfer will be forced rather than voluntary.⁴¹³

In February the leader of the Israeli opposition, Yair Lapid, proposed that Gaza be returned to Egypt for up to 15 years in exchange for the cancellation of its external debt. Egypt rejected the proposal stating it undermined the Palestinian cause.⁴¹⁴

Arab governments have rejected Trump's transfer plan, instead backing an Egyptian proposal. The Arab League, meeting on 4 March in Cairo, devised a $53bn plan detailing the reconstruction of Gaza while keeping its population in place.⁴¹⁵ The proposal also included the demand that Hamas disarm, step down and fresh elections to a reformed Palestinian Authority be held.⁴¹⁶ Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune boycotted the league meeting claiming that it was "monopolized by a limited and narrow group of Arab countries" namely the Arab states of the Persian Gulf.⁴¹⁷ Hamas also reiterated that the group’s arms were non-negotiable and rejected the plan.⁴¹⁸ In turn, on 5 March, Trump has rejected the Arab plan claiming that "The current proposal does not address the reality that Gaza is currently uninhabitable and residents cannot humanely live in a territory covered in debris and unexploded ordnance," and that the Trump administration will go ahead with seizing the territory "to bring peace and prosperity to the region".⁴¹⁹

In March 2025, the United States and Israel claimed to have contacted officials from Egypt, Jordan, Sudan, Somalia and Somaliland to discuss the resettlement of Gaza residents in their territories.⁴²⁰ Egypt,⁴²¹ Jordan,⁴²² and Sudan,⁴²³ rejected the proposal while Somalia and Somaliland refuted that they had been contacted.⁴²⁴

The war's spillover has resulted in a major escalation of existing tensions between Israel and Iran, with groups in the Axis of Resistance launching attacks on American military bases, and the Yemeni Houthi movement attacking commercial vessels in the Red Sea and incurring a US-led military operation.⁴²⁵ Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and the Houthi movement in Yemen launched limited attacks against Israel shortly after the start of the war. Iranian-backed militias in Iraq and Syria have also traded attacks with the US and IDF.⁴²⁶

Israel has bombed targets in and around Damascus throughout the war,^427428429 with an attack on the Iranian embassy in Damascus on 1 April 2024 leading to a series of retaliatory airstrikes on Israel in response.⁴³⁰⁴³¹ On 31 July, Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran, where he had traveled to attend the inauguration of President Masoud Pezeshkian,⁴³² and on 1 October, Iran fired approximately 200 missiles at Israel.⁴³³⁴³⁴

By the end of 2024, a year-long exchange of strikes between Israel and Hezbollah escalated into a brief Israeli invasion of Lebanon, before it was paused after a ceasefire.⁴³⁵ The crisis has also seen the fall of the Assad regime and an ongoing Israeli invasion of Syria.⁴³⁶⁴³⁷

West Bank and Israel

Further information: Israeli incursions in the West Bank during the Gaza war, 2023 Givat Shaul shooting, and 2024 Kiryat Malakhi attack

Amnesty International released a report⁴³⁸ on 5 February 2024 stating that Israel is carrying out unlawful killings in the West Bank and displaying "a chilling disregard for Palestinian lives" and that Israeli forces are carrying out numerous illegal acts of violence that constitute clear violations of international law.⁴³⁹⁴⁴⁰

Before the war, 2023 was the deadliest year for Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank in 20 years. Violence in the West Bank has increased since the war began with more than 607 Palestinians and over 25 Israelis killed.⁴⁴¹⁴⁴² At the same time, Israeli settler violence further increased to around 1,270 attacks, against 856 for all of 2022.⁴⁴³ About 1,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced by settlers since 7 October and almost half of the clashes have included "Israeli forces accompanying or actively supporting Israeli settlers while carrying out the attacks" according to a U.N. report.⁴⁴⁴ According to the West Bank Protection Consortium, since the 7 October attacks six Palestinian communities have been abandoned due to the violence.⁴⁴⁵

On 19 October, more than 60 Hamas members were arrested and 12 people were killed in overnight Israeli raids across the West Bank. Those arrested included the movement's spokesperson in the West Bank, Hassan Yousef.⁴⁴⁶

In July, Israeli authorities approved the seizure of 12.7 square kilometers of land in the occupied West Bank. According to Peace Now, this was the largest single appropriation approved since the 1993 Oslo accords."⁴⁴⁷ Israeli authorities also approved plans for almost 5,300 new houses in occupied West Bank.⁴⁴⁸ By July 2024, Israeli land seizures exceeded the combined total of the previous 20 years.⁴⁴⁹ The following month, the Israeli government approved new settlements in the occupied West Bank,⁴⁵⁰⁴⁵¹ and it was reported that Israeli settlers had taken advantage of the ongoing war to expand settlement activity supported by a far-right Israeli government,^452453454 including land seizure and large scale settlement plans.⁴⁵⁵

On 7 August, Wafa reported that Israeli forces destroyed the regional headquarters of Fatah in the Balata Camp.⁴⁵⁶⁴⁵⁷ On 28 August, Israel launched the largest military operation into the northern West Bank in more than 20 years. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said that the operation was a "full-fledged war".⁴⁵⁸ Israeli forces carried out simultaneous operations in Jenin, Tubas, Nablus, Ramallah and Tulkarem. In Jenin, Israeli forces destroyed the city's infrastructure and carried out mass arrests of men and boys. Civilians were trapped in their homes and denied access to food, water and medicine. Members of the press were denied access to the city and the army blocked access to hospitals and ambulances.⁴⁵⁹ A day later, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres demanded a halt to the operations,⁴⁶⁰ and EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said the operations "must not constitute the premises of a war extension from Gaza, including full-scale destruction."⁴⁶¹ On 3 September, Israeli media reported that the IDF had classified the West Bank as a "combat zone" and now viewed it as the second most important front in the war.⁴⁶²⁴⁶³ Yoav Gallant said that Israel was "mowing the lawn" with its West Bank operations, but that it would eventually need to "pull out the roots".⁴⁶⁴ On 6 September, Turkish-American protestor Ayşenur Eygi was killed by an Israeli sniper at a demonstration near Nablus.⁴⁶⁵

On 3 October, an Israeli airstrike in Tulkarm Camp killed at least 20 people.⁴⁶⁶⁴⁶⁷ On 13 November, Israeli far-right finance minister Bezalel Smotrich said that with Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 United States presidential election, Israel was "a step away" from "sovereignty in Judea and Samaria." Later comments by Mike Huckabee, chosen by Trump as the next ambassador to Israel, corroborated the possibility of an Israeli annexation of the West Bank.⁴⁶⁸ On 21 January 2025, the IDF said it launched a major raid in West Bank.⁴⁶⁹⁴⁷⁰ On 29 January, the IDF said that it conducted a drone strike targeting a group of militants in Tammun, killing at least 10 people.^471472473

Attacks in Israel

On 30 November, two Palestinian gunmen killed three and wounded eleven Israeli civilians at a bus stop on the Givat Shaul Interchange in Jerusalem. Hamas claimed responsibility.⁴⁷⁴ On 16 February 2024, a Palestinian gunman shot and killed two Israeli civilians and injured four others in Kiryat Malakhi, Israel. The shooter was killed by an off-duty IDF reservist at the scene.⁴⁷⁵ On 12 April, a 14-year-old Israeli shepherd went missing near Ramallah and was found dead a day later. On 15 April, two Palestinians were killed by Israeli settlers in Aqraba.⁴⁷⁶ On 13 May, at the Tarqumiya checkpoint, a convoy of trucks carrying food supplies to Gaza was attacked by Israeli settlers, who damaged the trucks and threw supplies on the ground.⁴⁷⁷

Israeli prisons and detention camps

Israel has increased its administrative detention of Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza, as well as Palestinian citizens of Israel, since the start of the war. Administrative detention was already at a 20-year high before October 2023.⁴⁷⁸ More than 11,000 Palestinians are held in Israeli jails, not counting detainees taken from Gaza during the war.⁴⁷⁹ At least 60 Palestinians have died in Israeli detention since 7 October.⁴⁸⁰ They are held without charge or trial, which violates international law.⁴⁸¹

In December 2023, a military base at Sde Teiman in the Negev Desert was converted to a detention camp by the IDF. 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.^482483484 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.⁴⁸⁵ Detainees have reported severe instances of violence during transfers between prisons.⁴⁸⁶⁴⁸⁷

Several Palestinian healthcare workers have been abducted from Gaza hospitals during sieges by Israeli forces.⁴⁸⁸ On 5 December, Israeli forces abducted the adult men present at Al-Awda hospital and took them to Sde Teiman camp. Dr. Adnan Al-Bursh was detained and later died in Israeli custody.⁴⁸⁹ In March, Israeli forces abducted Khaled Alser, lead author of the first Lancet paper on trauma among Gazan ER patients and doctors, from Nasser Hospital. As of 31 August, he remains in detention and his whereabouts are unknown.⁴⁹⁰

Al-Araby TV correspondent Mohammed Arab was abducted from the Gaza strip in March 2024 and transferred to Ofer prison in July. After reports of his treatment were leaked to al-Araby, he was beaten, threatened and tortured. According to Arab's testimony, prison guards used dogs and fire extinguishers to enact sexual violence on other prisoners.⁴⁹¹

In July 2024, military police raided Sde Teiman to arrest ten soldiers "suspected of the serious sexual abuse" of a Palestinian detainee. Israeli national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and other members of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party condemned the arrests.⁴⁹² Supporters of the arrested soldiers including Ben Gvir, Amihai Eliyahu, Zvi Sukkot, and Nissim Vaturi stormed Sde Teiman that night in protest. Hours later, protestors broke into Beit Lid where the soldiers were being held.⁴⁹³

On 7 October 2024, American journalist Jeremy Loffredo and three other international and Israeli journalists were detained at a checkpoint in the West Bank on suspicion of "assisting an enemy in war" for their reporting on the October 2024 Iranian strikes against Israel. The journalists' cameras and phones were confiscated. Loffredo was released after four days in detention, and barred from leaving the country until 20 October.⁴⁹⁴

As of February 2025, at least 160 healthcare workers from Gaza were believed to be held in detention by Israel, with another 24 missing after being taken from hospitals in Gaza. Al-Shifa hospital director Mohammed Abu Selmia, who was detained for 7 months and released without charges, detailed many of the abuses he faced and said that "no day passes without torture" in Israeli prisons.⁴⁹⁵

American involvement

Main article: Potential American ownership of the Gaza Strip

The extent of American support for Israel has led the war to be labelled as 'the first US-Israeli joint war'.⁴⁹⁶ Alongside substantial military, financial, and diplomatic support, the US also intervened in the war directly. 100 American soldiers were deployed in combat to man a THAAD anti-air battery.⁴⁹⁷⁴⁹⁸ In addition, America piloted drones over Gaza in order to provide intelligence to Israel.⁴⁹⁹ This intelligence was aimed at locating Palestinian militant leaders in Gaza and the location of hostages;⁵⁰⁰ this also included information on Sinwar's location.⁵⁰¹

On 18 March 2025, Israel launched a surprise attack⁵⁰² on the Gaza Strip, ending the 2025 Gaza war ceasefire. These attacks killed more than 400 Palestinians, including 263 women and children.⁵⁰³ Israel's government spokesman David Mencer revealed that operation was "fully coordinated with Washington" and thanked the Trump administration "for their unyielding support for Israel".⁵⁰⁴

Casualties

Further information: Gaza war hostage crisis, Mass detentions in the Gaza war, Killing of journalists in the Gaza war, and Killing of health workers in the Gaza war

As of 4 March 2025[update], over 50,000 people – 48,405 Palestinian⁵¹³⁵¹⁴ and 1,706 Israeli⁵¹⁵ – have been reported killed in the Gaza war according to the official figures of the Gaza Health Ministry, as well as 166 journalists and media workers,⁵¹⁶ 120 academics,⁵¹⁷ and over 224 humanitarian aid workers, a number that includes 179 employees of UNRWA.⁵¹⁸ Scholars have estimated 80% of Palestinians killed are civilians.^519520521522 A study by OHCHR, that verified fatalities from three independent sources, found that 70% of the Palestinian killed in residential buildings or similar housing were women and children.⁵²³⁵²⁴

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.⁵²⁵⁵²⁶ On 17 September 2024, the GHM published the names, gender and birth date of 34,344 individual Palestinians whose identities were confirmed and continues to attempt to identify all casualties.⁵²⁷ The GHM count does not include those who have died from "preventable disease, malnutrition and other consequences of the war".⁵²⁸ An analysis by the Gaza Health Projections Working Group predicted thousands of excess deaths from disease and birth complications.⁵²⁹

In January 2025, a peer-reviewed analysis of deaths in the Gaza war between October 2023 and 30 June 2024 was published in The Lancet. The paper estimated 64,260 deaths from traumatic injury during this period, and likely exceeding 70,000 by October 2024, with 59.1% of them being women, children and the elderly. It concluded that the GHM underestimated trauma-related deaths by 41% in its report, and also noted that its findings "underestimate the full impact of the military operation in Gaza, as they do not account for non-trauma-related deaths resulting from health service disruption, food insecurity, and inadequate water and sanitation."⁵³⁰

A survey by PCPSR reported showed over 60% of Gazans have lost family members since the war began.⁵³¹⁵³² Thousands of more dead bodies are thought to be under the rubble of destroyed buildings.⁵³³⁵³⁴ The number of injured is greater than 100,000;⁵³⁵ Gaza has the most amputated children per capita in the world.⁵³⁶

The 7 October attacks on Israel killed 1,195 people, including 815 civilians.⁵³⁷ A further 806 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank (including East Jerusalem).⁵³⁸ Casualties have also occurred in other parts of Israel, as well as in southern Lebanon,⁵³⁹ Syria,⁵⁴⁰ Yemen,⁵⁴¹ and Iran.⁵⁴²

According to the Israeli Ministry of Defense's Rehabilitation Division, about 1,000 soldiers are wounded every month.⁵⁴³ 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.⁵⁴⁴

Humanitarian crisis

The Gaza Strip is experiencing a humanitarian crisis as a result of the war,⁵⁴⁵⁵⁴⁶ 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 2024,⁵⁴⁷⁵⁴⁸ as well as a healthcare collapse. At the start of the war, Israel tightened its blockade on the strip, resulting in significant shortages of fuel, food, medication, water, and essential medical supplies.^549550551 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.⁵⁵² 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.⁵⁵³ Doctors warned of disease outbreaks spreading due to overcrowded hospitals.⁵⁵⁴ A polio epidemic was the target of mostly-successful vaccination campaigns.⁵⁵⁵

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.^556557558 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.⁵⁵⁹ The blackouts impeded emergency services, making it harder to locate and access the time-critical injured,⁵⁶⁰ and have impeded humanitarian aid agencies and journalists.⁵⁶¹ By December 2023, 200,000 Gazans (approximately 10% of the population) had received internet access through an eSIM provided by Connecting Humanity.⁵⁶²

The Gaza Health Ministry reported over 4,000 children killed in the war's first month.⁵⁶³ UN Secretary-General António Guterres stated that Gaza had "become a graveyard for children."^564565566 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 a Lancet study stating that the death toll in Gaza, including future deaths indirectly caused by the war, may exceed 186,000.⁵⁶⁷⁵⁶⁸

The scale and pace of destruction and damage of buildings in the Gaza Strip ranks among the most severe in modern history,^569570571 surpassing the bombing of Dresden, Hamburg, and London combined during World War II,^572573574575 and included apartment buildings, hospitals, schools, religious sites, factories, shopping centres, and municipal infrastructure.⁵⁷⁶ 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.^577578579580 The damage to buildings in northern Gaza reportedly exceeds that in Bakhmut and Mariupol in the Russian invasion of Ukraine,⁵⁸¹ Aleppo in the Battle of Aleppo,⁵⁸² and Mosul and Raqqa in the War against the Islamic State.⁵⁸³ 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.⁵⁸⁴ According to satellite analyses, 68% of roads, 70% of greenhouses, and nearly 70% of tree crops have been damaged or destroyed.⁵⁸⁵ 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.⁵⁸⁶

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".⁵⁸⁷ The term urbicide has also been used to refer to the destruction of Gazan cities and their institutions.⁵⁸⁸ 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".⁵⁸⁹

War crimes

Main article: War crimes in the Gaza war

See also: Israeli war crimes, Palestinian war crimes, and Gaza genocide

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."^590591592 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.⁵⁹³

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.⁵⁹⁴⁵⁹⁵ On 20 May, ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan announced his intention to seek arrest warrants against Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif and Ismail Haniyeh, as well as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then-Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant, for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity during the war.^596597598 On 21 November, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant, and Deif for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.^599600601The ICC canceled Deif's arrest warrant after confirming his death.⁶⁰²

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.^603604605

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.⁶⁰⁶ In a second report, the Commission found that Israel had carried out a policy of destroying Gaza's healthcare system.⁶⁰⁷⁶⁰⁸

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.⁶⁰⁹⁶¹⁰ 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.^611612613 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.⁶¹⁴

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.⁶¹⁵⁶¹⁶

On 5 December 2024, Amnesty International published a report concluding that Israel was committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip;⁶¹⁷⁶¹⁸ and on 19 December 2024, Human Rights Watch published a 179-page report concluding that Israel is responsible for the crime of genocide by intentionally depriving Palestinians in Gaza of access to safe water for drinking and sanitation needed for basic human survival.⁶¹⁹

On 13 March 2025, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory released a report stating that Israel's attacks on women's healthcare facilities in Gaza amounted to genocidal acts, destroying "in part the reproductive capacity of Palestinians in Gaza as a group".⁶²⁰ Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the report as "false and absurd", and accused UN Human Rights Council of being anti-Israel and anti-Semitic.⁶²¹

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.⁶²² At least nine countries withdrew their ambassadors or cut diplomatic ties with Israel.⁶²³⁶²⁴ The war has also resulted in a renewed focus on a two-state solution to the broader conflict.⁶²⁵⁶²⁶ 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.⁶²⁷

Negotiations have focused on the possibility of a ceasefire, with United States, Egypt and Qatar serving as negotiation mediators between Israel and Hamas.⁶²⁸⁶²⁹ 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.⁶³⁰⁶³¹ The United Nations Security Council passed resolution 2735 in June 2024, demanding acceptance of the three-phase ceasefire proposal.⁶³²

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.⁶³³

At the UNGA, Saudi Arabia announced a global alliance to push for a two-state solution. 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.^634635636 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 maintaining the push for a two-state solution, notwithstanding Israeli financial restrictions.⁶³⁷

Main article: Israeli government response to the 2023 Hamas-led attack on 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.⁶³⁸

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".⁶³⁹ There was broad support in Israeli society for military operations in Gaza.⁶⁴⁰⁶⁴¹ Public opinion poll conducted in December 2023 by the Israel Democracy Institute found that 87% of Jewish Israelis supported the war in Gaza.⁶⁴²

Palestinian territories

Initially, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas asserted the Palestinian people's right to self-defense against the "terror of settlers and occupation troops"⁶⁴³ and condemned the orders by Israel for residents to evacuate north Gaza, labeling it a "second Nakba".⁶⁴⁴ 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.⁶⁴⁵

Significant geopolitical divisions emerged during the war. Much of the Western world provided strong diplomatic and military support to Israel,⁶⁴⁶ including the United States,⁶⁴⁷ United Kingdom,⁶⁴⁸ and Germany,⁶⁴⁹ 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 2024.⁶⁵⁰ Spain and Ireland have also supported South Africa's genocide case against Israel.⁶⁵¹⁶⁵² 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.^653654655 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".⁶⁵⁶ 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.⁶⁵⁷

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.⁶⁵⁸⁶⁵⁹ The double standards, in their view, is condemning an illegal occupation in Ukraine while standing firmly behind Israel that has occupied Palestinian lands.⁶⁶⁰ Bolivia has cut all ties with Israel as a result of the conflict, while Colombia and Chile recalled their ambassadors to the country.⁶⁶¹⁶⁶²

The United States, United Kingdom, and Germany have supplied Israel with substantial military and medical aid.^663664665

The Israeli government's response prompted international protests, arrests, and harassment.⁶⁶⁶

Evacuations of foreign nationals

Main article: Evacuations during the Gaza war

Brazil announced a rescue operation of nationals using an air force transport aircraft.⁶⁶⁷ Poland announced that it would deploy two C-130 transport planes to evacuate 200 Polish nationals.⁶⁶⁸ 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.⁶⁶⁹ Australia also announced repatriation flights.⁶⁷⁰ 300 Nigerian pilgrims in Israel fled to Jordan before being airlifted home.⁶⁷¹

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.⁶⁷² Nepal arranged a flight to evacuate at least 254 of its citizens who were studying in Israel.⁶⁷³ India launched Operation Ajay to evacuate its citizens from Israel.⁶⁷⁴ Ukraine facilitated the evacuation of ~450 of its citizens from Israel as of 18 October, with additional evacuation flights planned for the near future.⁶⁷⁵

Impacts

Main article: Impacts of the Gaza war

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.⁶⁷⁶ Laith Alajlouni wrote that the immediate effect of the Hamas offensive was to unite Hamas and PLO.⁶⁷⁷

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.⁶⁷⁸ 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,⁶⁷⁹ some commentators criticized Netanyahu for putting aside the PLO and propping up Hamas,⁶⁸⁰ and described him as a liability.⁶⁸¹⁶⁸²

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."⁶⁸³ 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.⁶⁸⁴

Economic impact

Main article: Economic impact of the Gaza war

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.⁶⁸⁵⁶⁸⁶

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.⁶⁸⁷ 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.⁶⁸⁸ 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.⁶⁸⁹ 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.⁶⁹⁰ China's actions were described as a de facto sanction.⁶⁹¹⁶⁹²

The 3,500-member Water Transport Workers Federation of India said it would refuse to operate shipments carrying weapons to Israel.⁶⁹³ The declaration came a few months after one Indian company halted production of Israeli police uniforms due to the war in Gaza.⁶⁹⁴

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.⁶⁹⁵

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.⁶⁹⁶

Media coverage

Main article: Media coverage of the Gaza war

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".⁶⁹⁷ 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".⁶⁹⁸ 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.⁶⁹⁹⁷⁰⁰ 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.⁷⁰¹ 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".⁷⁰²
