Deaths in the Conflict

ARCHIVED WEBSITE

This site was archived on Aug. 3, 2021. The two-state solution is no longer the most popular solution among the jurisdictions involved. A reconsideration of the topic is possible in the future.

A chart of estimated deaths resulting from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the start of the First Intifada (Dec. 9, 1987) through July 7, 2014 appears below. Statistics from B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights organization, are used because they are largely considered to have comprehensive and nonpartisan data. Deaths from international military operations between Israel and its neighbor countries are not included in this presentation.

The data are separated between the First Intifada and Second Intifada because they mark major events in the modern history of the conflict.
