Israel / Palestine Catchup: Map of Control Just Before Lebanon Ceasefire - Nov. 26, 2024 (Subscription)

PolGeoNow's series of control maps for the Israel/Palestine area is back after a one-year hiatus. We've prepared a group of reports mapping the situation at important points up to today, and will be publishing them one at a time with the idea of catching up over a relatively short period.

Thumbnail preview of map of who controlled Palestine and Israel's claimed territories on November 26, 2024, and Israeli control beyond that area, soon during the height of Israel's invasion of Lebanon. Shows both Israeli and Palestinian Authority administration (Fatah/PLO and Hamas factions indicated separately). Includes bigger West Bank map (Area A, Area B, and Area C). Map also includes Gaza Strip, Golan Heights, major cities and Israeli settlements, UN peacekeeper deployments (UNIFIL in Lebanon and UNDOF in Syria), no man's land, Golan Heights buffer zone (area of separation, AOS), and Shebaa Farms. Also shows which areas of Israel proper are under the greatest military restrictions, including the so-called Gaza Envelope and Confrontation Line zones as well as much of northern Israel. Includes all major cities and various key towns and sites from the news, like Jabalia, Yaroun, Alma El Chaab, Tubas, Nur Shams, Tammun, Madama, Dura, Al-Khader, and more, as well as the so-called Philadelphi Corridor and Netzarim Corridor in the Gaza Strip. Colorblind accessible.

One year ago, Israel's invasion of neighboring Lebanon was roughly at its peak, just before a ceasefire with Lebanese group Hezbollah that would lead the Israeli troops to gradually withdraw from most of the areas they had advanced into. 

Meanwhile, Israeli operations would continue in the Gaza Strip, with the siege of Jabalia and neighboring towns, while both Israeli and Palestinian operations would target Hamas-allied militias in the West Bank.

See all this and more in the latest update to PolGeoNow's widely-acclaimed map of territorial administration in the Israel/Palestine area. In addition to the updated map, the report also includes a detailed chronicle of changes and events since October 6, 2024, the date illustrated by our previous Israel/Palestine control map.
