EARTH · VERIFIED CONFLICT RECORD

Conflict in Israel

NOT LIVE · ISRAEL RECORD RUNS 1 JAN 2024 31 MAY 2026

This is a verified record, not a live feed. UCDP hand-codes every event from published sources, which takes weeks — the newest event here is from 2026-05-31. For what is happening right now, LEV’s Global Incidents layer carries the machine-coded newswire at about fifteen minutes’ delay.

Between 1 Jan 2024 and 31 May 2026, researchers at Uppsala University hand-coded 6,715 events of organised violence in Israel from published sources. Their best estimate is 36,887 people killed — and their own range runs 35,747–38,293, which is the honest width of what anyone actually knows.

What the record holds

DEATHS RECORDED · UCDP BEST ESTIMATE36,887

UCDP range 35,747–38,293. On 16of these events UCDP’s own bounds do not bracket its own best estimate; the range above spans everything it published rather than hiding the conflict in the figures.

EVENTS6,715

6,506 placed precisely enough to map; 209 counted but not pinned, because UCDP could place them no closer than a province.

Who was doing the killing

State-based6,580 events · 36,693 killed (UCDP range 35,555–38,096)A government is one of the sides — a civil war or a war between states.
Non-state18 events · 22 killedTwo armed groups fight each other and neither is a government — militias, cartels, communal violence.
One-sided117 events · 172 killed (UCDP range 170–175)An armed group or government kills civilians who are not fighting back.

Where UCDP had not yet established an actor’s identity it records a placeholder rather than a name; those appear here as “unidentified actor”.

The deadliest single event on record

1 JAN 2024 · GAZA STRIP1,553 killed

UCDP range 1,525–1,554. UCDP publishes low 1,554 and high 1,525 against a best estimate of 1,553 — its own bounds do not bracket its own figure, so the range shown spans everything UCDP published for this event.
