Over 50,800 Gaza residents displaced.[18]

*Casualty figures and the civilian/combatant breakdown in Gaza cannot yet be independently verified.[19][20][21][22][23]
**The IDF claimed that 400 dead were known "Hamas operatives" and that 250 were also Hamas operatives.[12] 168 policemen were killed (138 during initial airstrikes), they were considered by the IDF as enemy combatants while the PCHR saw them as civilians.[14][24]
***There is no estimate of non-elderly male civilian fatalities. Around 723 of the deaths are: 4 UN[25][26] and 13 medical workers,[25][27] 4 journalists,[28] 3 top soccer players,[29] 412 children,[9] 110 women,[9] 97 elderly people,[30][31] and 40-80 people executed by Hamas.[32] Also, two foreigners, a Ukrainian woman and her child were among the dead.[33]

****Among the wounded there were 1,855 children[9] and 795 women.[9]

Partai-partai berkuasa di Israel menjadikan perang sebagai propaganda menjelang pemilu parlemen Israel pada 10 Februari 2009.[butuh rujukan] Sebuah jajak pendapat yang dilakukan surat kabar Haaretz menunjukkan masyarakat Israel berada di belakang operasi itu. Bahkan, di samping 52 persen yang mendukung serangan udara, ada 19 persen yang mengharapkan serangan darat. Dari semua ini, ada 25 persen yang menganjurkan gencatan senjata secepatnya. Perkembangan ini menyelamatkan popularitas koalisi Partai Kadima (Menteri Luar Negeri Tzipi Livni) dan Partai Buruh (Menteri Pertahanan Ehud Barak), yang melorot ketika menghadapi Benjamin Netanyahu yang ultranasionalis[35].

Perang ini bisa jadi akan semakin meluas setelah tiga atau lima roket yang dilepaskan dari Libanon menghantam tiga lokasi berbeda di wilayah Galilea Israel utara. Tembakan roket dari luar Palestina itu mencederai dua orang.[36] Israel membalas dengan menembakkan 6 mortir ke arah Libanon. Belum diketahui apakah terdapat korban jiwa dari serangan balasan Israel tersebut.[37]

Pada 17 Januari 2009, Israel secara sepihak menyatakan gencatan senjata dalam konflik tersebut.[38] Dua hari kemudian Hamas turut menyatakan gencatan senjata setelah Israel mengumumkan akan menarik pasukannya dari Jalur Gaza dalam waktu 1 minggu. [39]
