Historical Context

The recent escalation in Gaza echoes the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, particularly since the 1967 occupation. The rise of Hamas in the 1990s intensified hostilities, with repeated military confrontations leading to severe humanitarian crises. The current situation reflects past patterns of violence, civilian casualties, and international condemnation, reminiscent of the 2014 Gaza War, which also drew widespread global criticism for civilian impacts and alleged war crimes.
