Israel has conducted more attacks on other countries than any other nation this year, carrying out at least 10,631 attacks as of December 5, according to data collected by Armed Conflict Location and Event Data (ACLED).
Israel’s Military Offensives in 2025
In 2025, Israel attacked at least six countries, including Palestine, Iran, Lebanon, Qatar, Syria, and Yemen. It also carried out strikes in Tunisian, Maltese and Greek territorial waters on aid flotillas heading for Gaza.
ACLED collects and records reported information on political violence, demonstrations, and other select non-violent, politically important events from local, national and international news sources and international bodies. For mapping Israeli attacks, ACLED filtered for violent events including air and drone strikes, shelling and missile attacks, remote explosives, and other armed attacks.
These events involve violent attacks by Israeli forces; however, they exclude the significant rise in attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Additionally, they do not cover other Israeli assaults, such as home demolitions or nightly raids.
Where Has Israel Attacked the Most?
Gaza has been the deadliest area, with Israel killing more than 25,000 people this year and injuring at least 62,000. Israel has violated a ceasefire in Gaza, which took effect on October 10, hundreds of times, killing at least 400 Palestinians and injuring 1,100. Israel also repeatedly violated an earlier ceasefire in 2025, eventually ending it.
According to ACLED, as of December 5, 2025, Israel attacked:
- Gaza and the occupied West Bank 8,332 times
- Lebanon 1,653 times
- Iran 379 times
- Syria 207 times
- Yemen 48 times
- Qatar once
- Tunisian waters twice, Maltese and Greek waters once each
These statistics are based on verified reports and likely undercount the actual number of attacks due to reporting gaps in conflict zones.
