Timeline of the Gaza war

Timeline of the Gaza war

The Gaza war began on 7 October 2023 when Hamas launched coordinated armed incursions on Israel from the Gaza Strip.[1] However, the Gaza–Israel conflict precedes the 2023 attacks. As of February 25, 2026 over 74,000 people – 72,082 Palestinians[2] and 2,039 Israeli – have been reported killed in the Gaza war according to the official figures of the Gaza Health Ministry and Israeli authorities, but this is not a conclusive list.

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 29 October when Israel Standard Time (UTC+2) resumed.
