The current escalation in Gaza mirrors past conflicts, notably the 2014 Operation Protective Edge, which aimed to dismantle Hamas following increased rocket fire into Israel. Since Hamas's rise to power in 2006, Israel has repeatedly launched military operations to counter perceived threats. This cycle of violence has led to significant civilian casualties and ongoing humanitarian crises, raising international concerns over war crimes and human rights violations.
