This market will resolve according to the total number of different countries' soil that Israel initiates a drone, missile, or air strike between January 1, 2026, 12:00 AM ET and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Strikes on embassies or consulates will count towards the country the embassy or consulate is located in, not towards the country they represent. Strikes within the territory controlled by Israel as of December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET, as well as strikes within the West Bank or the Gaza Strip, will not be counted towards this market's resolution. For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "strike" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones, or missiles (including cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by Israeli military forces that impact another country's ground territory that is officially acknowledged by the Israeli government or a consensus of credible reporting. Missiles or drones that are intercepted and surface-to-air missile strikes will not count towards the resolution of this market, regardless of whether they land on another country's territory or cause damage. Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, FPV or ATGM strikes directly, ground incursions, naval shelling, cyberattacks, or other operations conducted by Israeli ground operatives will not qualify. The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.**Traders assign a 75.5% probability to exactly four countries struck by Israel in 2026, with five at 12.2% and higher counts in single digits.** This pricing reflects the established scope of Israeli operations since late February, centered on direct strikes against Iran (including multiple waves targeting leadership, military, and nuclear-related sites), Lebanon (airstrikes and ground operations against Hezbollah targets), Syria (targeted strikes on military infrastructure), and Gaza (ongoing counter-Hamas actions). The February–March escalation involving joint U.S.–Israeli strikes on Iran triggered Hezbollah retaliation and Israeli responses in Lebanon, but subsequent de-escalation—including a June halt to major exchanges with Iran—has contained the conflict without opening sustained new fronts. Ongoing but localized activity in established theaters, combined with diplomatic and military restraint signals into September, has reinforced trader expectations that additional countries such as Yemen or Iraq will not see direct Israeli strikes before year-end. Resolution depends on verifiable cross-border military actions meeting the market’s criteria for “strike,” with low implied odds on expansion reflecting the current pattern of contained engagement.
