The Israel-Gaza Conflict Map

The Israel-Gaza Conflict Map is a map of incidents documented by CIR covering the Occupied Palestinian Territories (the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem), Israel, and Lebanon since 7 October 2023.

Incidents have been visually verified using videos and photos uploaded from the ground, as well as satellite imagery, to identify when the incident happened (date) and where it happened (location). Each piece of data has been analysed for authenticity by CIR Investigators.
