Gaza

Gaza: map of the ground Israel controls
Sources: Israeli military ceasefire maps of 14 October 2025 and May 2026 and its "orange line" of May 2026; UN Department of Safety and Security operational zones, 13 October 2025 and 23 June 2026, via UNRWA and UNICEF. Roads © OpenStreetMap contributors. The May 2026 line is the last one published; Israeli commanders said in October 2026 that they hold 63 to 64 per cent of the Strip, and the UN puts the area under access restrictions at 65 per cent.

West Bank

West Bank: map of the ground Israel controls
Sources: OCHA occupied Palestinian territory (Oslo areas, firing zones); Peace Now (settlements, outposts and farms to 14 November 2024, jurisdictions, barrier). Roads © OpenStreetMap contributors. Peace Now has not updated its map data since; its list of 1 August 2026 counts 146 officially established settlements, and 34 more were approved in March 2026, so the dots are a floor.
