This is a list of individual IDF/IAF operations in Operation Protective Edge, which began on 8 July 2014, naming the targets and casualties. After Israel's unilateral disengagement from Gaza in 2005, and following on the joint Israeli-Egyptian blockade of the Gaza Strip since 2007, several military operations have been conducted against the area, including Operation Cast Lead in 2008, in which 1,417 Palestinians and 13 Israelis died, Operation Pillar of Defense 2012 in which 120-160 Palestinians and 2 Israelis died, and the March 2012 Gaza–Israel clashes. The lopsided nature of casualties reflects the conditions of asymmetric warfare in this region, in differences in weaponry, defensive technologies, operating terrain and local attitudes: the Gaza Strip has high habitation density whereas the contiguous area of southern Israel where most rockets fall, is the sparsely populated Negev. The forces in the conflict are Gaza-based militants, who have stocks of long-range rockets, such as Grad missiles but use mainly home- or factory-made missiles, many of which have inaccurate trajectories, especially Qassam rockets, many of which hit open fields, versus Israel's combined military forces, naval gunboats to the east, tanks positioned on the land borders, and IAF aircraft, equipped with F-15 fighter jets, AH-64 Apache helicopters, Delilah missiles, IAI Heron-1 drones and Jericho II missiles. Israel's civilian population has, in addition, access to shelters, early-warning sirens and is defended by the Iron Dome missile detection defence system. A spokeswoman for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights queried whether Israeli air strikes targeting homes were compliant with International humanitarian law and International human rights law. Israel states that Hamas places its armouries in densely populated areas to make civilians human shields.

The preliminary death toll as of August 10 is estimated by B'tselem to be 1,767 Palestinians, inclusive of: 431 minors (of whom one participated as a militant), 200 women (under age 60), and 85 persons aged 60 and over. Gaza’s Ministry of Health placed the figure at 1,939 Palestinians. Two Israeli civilians and one Thai national and 64 Israeli soldiers were killed, 5 of whom died from friendly fire. The UN has calculated that at least 70% of the deceased were civilians.

In the wake of Avigdor Liberman's Sunday 20 July comment that the IDF is the "most humane and bravest army in the world", Israel's Ambassador to the United States, Ron Dermer, in an address delivered before Christians United for Israel on Tuesday, 22 July, remarked that Israel's armed forces merited a Nobel Prize in recognition of the "unimaginable restraint" they had exercised during the Operation. Prime Minister Binjamin Netanyahu blamed Hamas, asserting that the gruesome civilian toll is desired by Hamas to use "telegenically dead Palestinians" for their cause. Palestinians stated that, given the overcrowding of the Gaza Strip, they are vulnerable everywhere.

As of 21 June, 132 of the casualties were children The Israeli Broadcasting Authority banned a B'tselem radio spot in which the names of the children killed in the conflict were read out. 97% of the children killed in the last five years of the conflict have been Palestinian.
