Overview

• Between October 2023 and June 2025, Action on Armed Violence identified 52 publicly reported IDF investigations linked to more than 1,300 Palestinian deaths and nearly 1,900 injuries.
• Roughly 88 percent of those probes were either closed without finding fault or remain unresolved, according to the AOAV report published in August 2025.
• Just six investigations resulted in disciplinary measures—ranging from dismissals to reprimands—and one reservist received a seven-month prison term for abusing detainees at Sde Teiman.
• High-profile cases still under review include the February 2024 shooting of at least 112 Palestinians in a Gaza City flour queue, a May Rafah tent camp airstrike that killed 45, and a June attack on civilians at a food distribution point.
• The IDF asserts its internal military police and fact-finding assessments comply with Israeli and international law, but rights groups call the process opaque and slow, noting only one prosecution emerged from 664 prior Gaza inquiries.
