The asymmetry

How many die on each side

The same question asked of every period for which both figures exist, from the sources each side's own institutions accept. The ratio is not an editorial choice; it is the division.

Palestinians killed for every Israeli killed

Each bar is one documented period. The dashed line is parity — one death on each side. The record has never been near it.

The current ratio

39:1
Palestinians killed per Israeli killed, now
75,690 Palestinians against 1,941 Israelis since 7 October 2023
Gaza MoH / OCHA; Israeli Ministry of Defense
4:1
The same ratio in the Second Intifada
the narrowest in the record, and the period most often cited as representative of the conflict
DCI-Palestine
15.6:1
Palestinian children killed before the war, per Israeli child
2,171 Palestinian children against 139 Israeli children
B'Tselem, cumulative to 2023

Every Israeli figure in this table comes from an Israeli institution or from B'Tselem, an Israeli organisation. None of it depends on Palestinian sourcing. The ratio widens from 4:1 in the period of the suicide bombings to roughly 38:1 in the current war. The direction of that change is the argument.

Violence over time

Gaza, month by month

Since the ceasefire

What stopped and what did not

A ceasefire announced on 29 September 2025 entered into force on 10 October 2025. It ended the phase of the war that was killing tens of thousands a year. It did not end the killing, and it did not end the siege: on 6 June 2026 every crossing was closed again. In the 382 days since, the Ministry of Health has recorded 1,344 Palestinians killed under a ceasefire — and its register of the identified dead has risen by 7,350, which is 9.9 per cent of the whole toll of the war, as bodies are recovered and identifications completed. The register is growing at 19.2 a day against 91.3 a day before the ceasefire; the killings the Ministry counts in the period work out at about 3.5 a day. On either measure the killing slowed sharply. On neither did it stop.

Added to the register each day since the ceasefire

Each bar is the figure the Ministry published that day, which includes bodies recovered from the rubble. The dashed line is the daily mean of the two years before the ceasefire, on the same scale.

The register and the count of killings since the ceasefire are two different figures. The register moves when an identification is completed, so it carries bodies recovered from the rubble months after the strike that killed them, and it rises faster than the number of people killed in the period. The chart plots the register; the figures above are the Ministry's and UNICEF's counts of what was done after 10 October 2025.

Israel expanded its territorial control inside Gaza from the 53 per cent envisaged under the agreement to about 70 per cent of the Strip by July 2026, by moving the Yellow Line westward. OCHA records about 200 Palestinians killed near those shifting lines. Sections 6.7 to 6.10 of the report set out the conduct of this period in full: the strikes that continued, the closure of every crossing on 6 June 2026, and the talks that ran alongside both.

Place and period

Deaths by month, category and territory

A three-dimensional reading of the same record: each bar is one month, in one category, in one territory. Drag to rotate. Heights are on one axis for both territories, because the difference in scale is itself the finding: at the peak, Gaza's monthly figure is around sixty-nine times the West Bank's. That is also why the West Bank rows read as a flat band, so the colour is scaled separately for each territory and the second chart plots the West Bank on an axis of its own.

Killings by month, category and territory

Gaza and the West Bank on a shared height axis. The two colour ramps run to different maximums, each printed on its own scale bar.

Seventy-five years

Every Gaza operation on one axis

The report applies the same evidentiary standard to each operation. Log scale, because the 2023–2026 figure is two orders of magnitude larger than what preceded it.
