Israel Conducts Widespread Military Offensives in 2025, Attacking Six Countries and Aid Flotillas

[City, Date] – Israel has launched a staggering number of military attacks in 2025, striking at least six countries and targeting aid flotillas, according to data compiled by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data (ACLED). From January 1 to December 5, ACLED recorded at least 10,631 attacks carried out by Israeli forces, marking a year of geographically broad military offensives.

The ACLED data, which tracks political violence and demonstrations, reveals that Israeli attacks targeted Palestine, Iran, Lebanon, Qatar, Syria, and Yemen. Furthermore, Israeli forces conducted strikes in Tunisian, Maltese and Greek territorial waters on aid flotillas heading for Gaza.

Palestine has borne the brunt of the attacks, with at least 8,332 incidents recorded, averaging 25 per day. Gaza has been particularly devastated, experiencing at least 7,024 attacks. ACLED reports over 25,000 fatalities and 62,000 injuries in Gaza this year. The data shows that Israel also repeatedly violated ceasefires in Gaza.

Beyond Palestine, ACLED documented over 1,653 attacks in Lebanon, despite a ceasefire agreement, and over 200 attacks in Syria. In June, Israel launched a series of strikes on Iran, targeting nuclear, military, and infrastructure sites, which drew retaliatory attacks from Iran.

ACLED reports that Israel launched at least 48 attacks against the Houthis in Yemen, some 1,200km (750 miles) away. On August 28, 2025, Israeli air raids targeted a Houthi government meeting in the capital, Sanaa, killing Houthi Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi and several other senior officials.

The independent monitor also highlighted attacks on aid flotillas attempting to reach Gaza, including incidents off the coasts of Malta, Tunisia, and Greece. On September 9, Israel struck Qatar’s capital, Doha, while Hamas leadership were meeting to discuss a US-proposed ceasefire for Gaza.

The data excludes a significant rise in attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and other Israeli assaults, such as home demolitions or nightly raids.

ACLED acknowledges that these statistics, based on verified reports, likely undercount the actual number of attacks due to reporting limitations in conflict zones.
