Timeline of the Israel–Hamas war | |
---|---|
|
The Israel–Hamas war began on 7 October 2023 when Hamas launched a coordinated armed incursions on Israel from the Gaza Strip.[1] As of 30 August 2024[update], over 42,000 people (40,602 Palestinian[2] and 1,478 Israeli[14]) have been reported as killed in the Israel–Hamas war, including 116 journalists according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (111 Palestinian, 2 Israeli and 3 Lebanese)[15], 134 journalists and media workers according to the International Federation of Journalists (127 Palestinian, 4 Israeli and 3 Lebanese)[16] and over 224 humanitarian aid workers, including 179 employees of UNRWA.[17]
The vast majority of casualties have been in the Gaza Strip where, according to a PCPSR report, over 60% of Gazans have lost family members since 7 October 2023.[18] The death tolls reported by the UNOCHA come from Gaza Health Ministry (GHM).[19] The casualty total includes all reported deaths, while the demographic breakdown uses only casualties with associated identities.[20] The GHM announced on 30 April 2024 that 24,686 casualties had been specifically identified through hospitals, family members, and media reports;[21] of these, 52% were women and minors, 43% were men over 18, and 5% were not identified by age or sex.[22] The GHM count does not include those who have died from "preventable disease, malnutrition and other consequences of the war".[23] An analysis by the Gaza Health Projections Working Group predicted thousands of excess deaths from disease and birth complications.[24]
The 7 October attacks on Israel killed 1,139 people, including 815 civilians.[25] A further 251 persons were taken hostage during the initial attack on Israel to the Gaza Strip.[3][26][27] A further 479 Palestinians, including 116 children, and 9 Israelis have been killed in the occupied West Bank (including East Jerusalem).[2] Casualties have also occurred in other parts of Israel, as well as in southern Lebanon,[28] Syria,[29] Yemen,[30] and Iran.[31]
Some developments may become known or understood only in retrospect, so this is not an exhaustive list. Events on the ground for which the precise time is known are in Israel Summer Time (UTC+3) until October 29 when Israel Standard Time (UTC+2) resumed.
