Israel seized more land from neighbors since 2023 than it has in decades
Israel says the seized areas are buffer zones meant to block future attacks, while rights groups say more than 3 million people have been displaced.
- Israel has taken control of roughly 1,000 square kilometers across Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria, establishing "buffer zones" that displaced more than 3 million people following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack.
- The October 7, 2023, Hamas-led strike ignited multi-front wars, prompting Israel to secure territory it describes as vital to preventing future militant attacks across the region.
- Current operations hold more than 60% of Gaza—194 square kilometers—and 608 square kilometers in Lebanon, where evacuation warnings forced about 1.2 million people to flee.
- Critics and the U.N. argue land seizures violate the 1974 ceasefire agreement, while Iran has made Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon a condition for ending its war with the U.S.
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated plans to increase control in Gaza to 70%, as Israel maintains its military footprint across these expanded territories indefinitely.
