Israel-Hezbollah Conflict

This interactive web application documents and analyzes conflict activity in Lebanon and along the Lebanese-Israeli border from the outbreak of hostilities on October 8, 2023 onward. The platform is powered by continuously updated data drawn from two sources: Liveumap, which provides real-time geolocated event tracking, and ACLED, the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data project, which supplies structured, categorized conflict data with temporal and spatial precision. Automated updates delivered through the ICIL portal ensure an uninterrupted feed that reflects conditions as they evolve.

Attack events are categorized into two primary data types: shelling and explosions or remote violence, recorded across both Lebanon and Israel. This classification structure allows users to disaggregate the data by event type, geography, and time, enabling the analysis of conflict intensity, spatial distribution, and temporal progression. The platform supplements event-level data with aggregated statistical indicators specific to the Lebanese context, including total raids recorded, average daily raids, peak raid day, and quietest raid day. Together, these metrics provide a high-level operational picture alongside the granular event record.

The platform addresses a defined range of users: researchers, humanitarian workers, policymakers, and governmental and non-governmental agencies engaged in conflict response and analysis. For each, it provides a shared and continuously updated situational picture of conflict activity, consolidating heterogeneous data sources into a single spatial and temporal interface. Its dual-sided geographic scope, covering activity on both sides of the border, positions it as a resource for cross-border analysis rather than a single-perspective record.

The platform's purpose is threefold: to support humanitarian aid coordination, enable rigorous conflict analysis, and contribute to historical archival of the conflict's progression and impact. By structuring real-time data within an analytical framework, it produces a resource that serves both immediate operational needs and longer-term documentation.
