Authors - Ketaki Paranjape, Rajasi Barapatre, Sandhya Arora Abstract - This study conducts a statistical analysis of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to uncover patterns and relationships that characterize the dynamics of hostilities. The research examines critical questions about the association between event location, age, citizenship, and types of ammunition, employing statistical methods such as Z-scores, Chi-square tests, and F-tests on a comprehensive dataset. Key findings include significant regional variations in participation in hostilities, with Gaza showing the highest levels of engagement, and the predominance of the 21–30 age group in active involvement. Additionally, asymmetrical impacts were observed, with Palestinian civilians primarily affected by Israeli security forces, and Israeli civilians targeted by Palestinian actors. Analysis of ammunition usage reveals targeted engagement against younger age groups and highlights the varied means of violence in the conflict. These findings provide valuable insights into the conflict's demographic and regional dimensions, offering a foundation for data-driven conflict resolution strategies and humanitarian interventions.
