Iran-Israel War — OSINT Dataset

Open-source intelligence dataset tracking Iranian missile and drone attack waves against Israel and US/coalition targets across four rounds of escalation — Iran's first-ever direct military strikes on Israeli territory.

Data Quality Disclaimer: This dataset was assembled using a combination of AI-assisted research (multi-model LLM queries), news reporting, and publicly available OSINT sources. It may contain inaccuracies, gaps, or errors. Timestamps are approximate for many events. Munitions counts and casualty figures vary across sources and should be treated as estimates. Iranian state media claims (PressTV, Tasnim, IRGC statements) are preserved but often unverifiable. This data is provided for research and educational purposes only — always cross-reference against primary sources before drawing conclusions.

What's In The Dataset

Each wave record includes:

Category	Fields
Identity	Wave UID, UUID, attacking force (actor + subunit)
Timing	UTC timestamps, local times (Israel/Iran), solar phase, conflict day, inter-wave tempo
Weapons	Payload descriptions, missile/drone type flags, fuel/warhead categories, cluster munition details
Targets	Israeli locations, US/coalition bases, naval vessels, country-level targeting, critical infrastructure flags
Interception	Systems used, interception rates, exo/endo atmospheric phase, intercepting forces
Impact	Casualties (military/civilian), infrastructure damage
Escalation	New country/weapon flags, proxy involvement

Data Access

Neo4j Graph Database

The dataset is available as a property graph on Neo4j Aura, modelling the war as a network of relationships between actors, weapons, targets, defense systems, and international reactions. Graph queries enable relationship-driven analysis — e.g. "which defense systems intercepted Fattah missiles?" or "all salvos where Artesh participated" — that are cumbersome in flat/relational formats.

Graph model: War → Round → Salvo, with Side/Actor hierarchy (Israel/Coalition vs Iran/Axis of Resistance), weapons, defense systems, targets, and 210 entity international reactions. Uses neutral "Round" terminology; Iranian operational designations stored as properties.

Rebuild: python3 scripts/build_neo4j.py --clear
