About this Website
This timeline lists all Palestinians and Israelis killed by a person from the other side from September 29, 2000 to the present. Our goal is to create a page with information and photos for each person that has been killed. These pages can be viewed by clicking on a person’s name from the home page. As additional facts become available, they will be added.
This website includes every death we can find reported. While Israeli deaths, fewer in number, are reported widely and in great detail, it should be noted that Palestinians are frequently killed in large numbers during military incursions, and reporting agencies don’t always have adequate access to ensure they haven’t missed anyone.
The majority of the names listed on this site come from the records of B’Tselem, an Israeli nonprofit organization that documents human rights abuses in the occupied Palestinian territories, and from the International Media Information Center (IMEMC), an independent news organization based in the Bethlehem region that reports on events in both Israel and the Palestinian territories. Additional reports of deaths have come from other news agencies such as Ma’an News and Ha’aretz.
Finally, it is essential to understand that these deaths are part of a far larger, often misunderstood context. For critical information on the history, context, and U.S. connection to Israel-Palestine, please visit our main website, If Americans Knew.
Who We Are
