Resolution relies on a consensus of credible reporting or official Israeli acknowledgement rather than a dedicated official registry, requiring discretion to determine whether specific strikes meet all criteria. The question does not explicitly clarify whether reaching four countries means exactly four or at least four. Additionally, there are detailed technical exclusions to navigate: strikes on the West Bank, Gaza, or territory controlled by Israel at the end of 2025 do not count, and intercepted munitions or surface-to-air missiles do not count even if their debris causes damage on the ground. Artillery, direct FPV/ATGM strikes, and naval shelling are also strictly excluded, meaning reporting must clearly differentiate the specific delivery mechanism used in each strike.

Resolution rules
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.

Intercepted projectiles, surface-to-air missiles, artillery, small arms, FPV/ATGM strikes, ground incursions, naval shelling, cyberattacks, and ground operative actions are excluded.
