   /statistics/state-based-conflict-deaths

From UCDP's own country-year dataset on organised violence, which assigns each death to the country where the event took place — not from its conflict-level battle-deaths file, which cannot be split by country without further arithmetic. UCDP's country list has Israel and no Palestine, so deaths in Gaza and the West Bank are counted under Israel.
