Palestine Conflict Events: Weekly Aggregated Political Violence and Demonstrations

Produced by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), this dataset provides weekly aggregated counts of political violence, civilian targeting, and demonstrations in Palestine. The records are organized into country-year and country-month intervals to track conflict intensity over time, with updates recorded through March 2026.

Use Cases

• Tracking longitudinal trends in 'political violence' counts across different 'country-year' periods
• Comparing the frequency of 'civilian-targeting' vs 'demonstration events' per month
• Identifying peak conflict periods using 'country-month' aggregated totals

Strengths

• Weekly update cycle for near real-time monitoring
• Categorized by specific event types including civilian-targeting and demonstrations
• Sourced from ACLED's specialized conflict monitoring methodology

Limitations

• Aggregated format prevents micro-level spatial analysis of specific incidents
• Full event data requires external registration and API access via the ACLED website
