On Wednesday, a truce was announced after a night of exchange of missile strikes between Israel and Palestinian fighters in the Gaza Strip, following the death of a leader in the Islamic Jihad movement, Khader Adnan, in Ramla prison, as a result of a hunger strike.

In this file, Agence France-Presse sheds light on the most prominent events that exacerbated the conflict between the Israeli-Palestinian sides since last year.

Violence erupted on March 22, 2022, when four people were killed in the city of Beersheba in the Negev desert, southern Israel, by a Bedouin teacher associated with the Islamic State.

On March 27, two policemen were killed in an attack claimed by the Islamic State in Hadera, in the north.

Two days later, a Palestinian from the West Bank killed five pedestrians on the outskirts of Tel Aviv. On April 7th, another attack left three people dead in central Tel Aviv.

On May 5th, three Israelis were killed after two Palestinians attacked them with axes and knives in the city of Elad, which is predominantly observant.

In the aftermath of the attacks inside Israel, the Israeli army launched more than 2,000 raids in the West Bank in 2022, especially in Jenin and Nablus, which are strongholds of the Palestinian armed factions in the northern West Bank occupied by Israel since 1967.

On May 11, the American-Palestinian journalist for the Qatari Al-Jazeera Arabic channel, Sherine Abu Aqleh, was killed during an Israeli operation.

On October 25, five Palestinians were killed in an Israeli military operation targeting the Lions' Den armed group in Nablus.

On November 29, Israeli forces killed five more Palestinians in the West Bank.

On August 5, the Israeli army launched an operation in Gaza that was portrayed as "preventive" against the Islamic Jihad movement, during which a number of its military leaders were killed.

At least 49 Palestinians were killed in total during the three days of rocket and missile exchanges.

A new cycle of violence began on January 26, 2023, when ten Palestinians were killed in Jenin during an Israeli operation.

The next day, a Palestinian shot dead six Israelis and a Ukrainian near a synagogue in East Jerusalem, which Israel occupied and annexed in 1967, before being shot.

On 06 February, five Palestinian members of Hamas were killed in an Israeli military operation in Jericho.

On February 10th, a run-over attack by a Palestinian in East Jerusalem killed three Israelis, including two brothers, aged six and eight.

On February 22, 11 Palestinians, including a boy, were killed during an Israeli military incursion into Nablus. The operation was described as the bloodiest carried out by the Israeli army in the West Bank since at least 2005, followed at night by firing rockets from the Gaza Strip towards Israel, followed by Israeli air strikes.

On February 26, two Israeli settlers were killed near Nablus.

On the evening of that same day, hundreds of Israeli settlers entered Hawara, where they threw stones at Palestinian homes and set fire to buildings and cars.

Six Palestinians were killed on March 7 in Jenin, one of whom was the perpetrator of the attack on the two settlers.

On the fifth of April, in the middle of Ramadan, violent clashes took place between the Israeli police and what it described as "rioters" holed up inside Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Two rockets were fired in the evening from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory, after a similar shooting the night before, to which Israel responded with strikes.

On the sixth of April, about thirty rockets were launched from Lebanon towards Israel.

Israel began responding in the evening with air strikes on the Gaza Strip. Before dawn the next day, the Israeli army also launched air strikes in southern Lebanon, confirming that it had hit three "infrastructure" of Hamas.

This is the first time that Israel has confirmed that it has attacked Lebanese territory since April 2022.

On 7 April, two British Israelis were killed and their mother seriously injured in an attack on their car in the West Bank. Two days later, the death of the mother was announced.

On the second of May, the Palestinian prisoner Khader Adnan, 45, died in his detention in the Israeli Ramla prison, after 86 days during which he was on hunger strike.

Adnan had embarked on a strike to protest his administrative detention, but an Israeli official said that he was detained on charges related to his activity in the Islamic Jihad movement, participation in dozens of organizational activities of the movement, and giving inflammatory speeches in support of a hostile organization, and he was being held pending the case.

Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip responded by firing rockets towards the Jewish state. A day of shelling exchange resulted in the death of a Palestinian and the wounding of five others, while the Israeli side recorded three injuries.

Since the beginning of January, more than 100 Palestinians, 19 Israelis, a Ukrainian woman and an Italian citizen have been killed in confrontations, military operations and attacks, according to a toll compiled by Agence France-Presse based on official Israeli and Palestinian sources.

These figures include fighters and civilians, including minors, from the Palestinian side, and from the Israeli side. Most of the dead are civilians, including minors and three Israeli Arabs.
