Notes
- ^ See List of military aid to Israel during the Gaza war and American involvement
- ^ Popular Forces have been described as a Salafi Jihadist organisation with alleged ties to the Islamic State. Several senior leaders in the Popular Forces also allied with the Islamic State in the Sinai.[1]
- ^ From May 2024[2][3][4]
- ^ Fired by Netanyahu as defense minister on 5 November 2024
- ^ The combined forces of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad add up to 37,000.[7][8][failed verification][needs update] Estimates for Hamas alone are highly variable, from 20,000 to 40,000.[9][10]
- ^ Including 169,500 active personnel[11] and 360,000 reservists[12]
- ^ Casualty count includes both militants and civilians. For further information see Casualties of the Gaza war § Civilian to military ratio.
- ^ As of April 2025.[14][15] Per the Gaza Health Ministry[16] the number recorded killed is 58,765.[17][g][18][19] The number of killed identified is 58,380.[20][21][22]
Israeli estimates of 36,000+ Palestinians killed, including nearly 20,000 militants,[23] are widely criticised as inaccurate, and no evidence has been presented for the claims of militants having been killed.[24][25]
- ^ In addition to direct deaths, armed conflicts result in indirect deaths "attributable to the conflict". Mortality due to indirect deaths could be due to a variety of causes, such as infectious diseases.[27] Indirect deaths range from three to fifteen times the number of direct deaths in recent conflicts.[28] In Gaza, estimated 51,000 natural deaths, natural death rate has gone up from 3.5/1000 to 22/1000 (late June 2024)[29]
- ^ Based in Israel proper (1967 borders)
- ^ Total is derived from taking the current number of killed in Gaza, the current number of killed in West Bank, the current number of militants killed inside Israel, the current number of killed in Lebanon and the current number of killed in Syria.
- ^ Including:
- 797 on October 7[38][39] (including foreign or dual national citizens and "up to" 14 Israeli civilians killed by the Israeli military as part of the Hannibal Directive[40])
- 83 hostages in Gaza confirmed dead (including 27 not retrieved),[41] of which 11 were soldiers,[42][43][44][45][46] leaving 72 confirmed civilian hostage deaths
- 46 on the Lebanese border[47]
- 3 in Alexandria, Egypt
- 2 embassy staff members in Washington, D.C., United States[48]
- 24 in the West Bank and Israel by 5 March 2025 (per OCHA oPt),[49] not including 2 mistakenly killed by Israeli forces (1 in Jerusalem[50] and 1 in the West Bank),[51] 6 killed by militants (2 near Ofra,[52] 1 in Tel Aviv[53], 1 near Yokneam Illit[54] and 2 near Brukhin[55][56]), 3 killed in non-militant attacks (1 in Haifa,[57] 1 in Hadera,[58] 1 in Herzliya),[59] and 1 killed in an attack in Gush Etzion,[60] bringing the total to 36 conflict-related deaths to date
- 3 in Gaza Strip[61][62][63]
- 3 in Allenby Bridge[64]
- 30 in the 2024 Iran–Israel conflict and the Iran-Israel war (including 2 indirectly)[65][66][67][68]
- 2 in Houthi missile and drone attacks (including 1 indirectly)[69][70]
- ^ Including:[71][72][73][74][75][76][77]
- 972 (893 conf. by names) Israel Defence Force soldiers
- 70 Israel Police officers
- 10 Shin Bet personnel (not including those who were also IDF soldiers)
- ^ As of 22 January 2024.[78] Including 6,108 soldiers (as of 13 July 2025).[73]

The "Lavender" system is designed to identify individuals suspected of being part of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), even targeting those with lower ranks for potential aerial bombardments. In the initial stages of the conflict, the military heavily relied on Lavender, leading to the system labeling up to 37,000 Palestinians as militants, along with their residences, for potential airstrikes.

Netanyahu said last week that Israel has killed 14,000 Hamas militants; the IDF put its estimate at 13,000 last month. The numbers are not possible to independently verify — and no evidence has been offered to support them — but even the high-end figure would amount to less than half of Hamas's estimated fighting force before the war.

In recent conflicts, such indirect deaths range from three to 15 times the number of direct deaths. Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza. Using the 2022 Gaza Strip population estimate of 2,375,259, this would translate to 7.9% of the total population in the Gaza Strip.

A study of traumatic injury deaths in Gaza in The Lancet using multiple data sources and capture-recapture analysis suggested that the MoH's methods, far from producing an exaggerated number, actually under-estimated the death toll by around 41 percent. ... When considering the total 'excess mortality,' we need to add the Palestinians who have died because of the blockade in combination with the IDF's destruction of health and sanitation and food infrastructure. As public health experts noted, in many wars, 'most deaths' are 'due to the indirect [sic] impacts of war: malnutrition, communicable disease, exacerbations of noncommunicable disease, [and] maternal and infant disorders.'117 'Indirect' would be the wrong word for this conflict given the nature of Israeli policies, including the systematic obstruction of supplies into Gaza.
