Hamas's resilience amid Israeli airstrikes reflects a long history of conflict between the group and Israel, dating back to Hamas's rise in 2006 after winning parliamentary elections. The ongoing violence echoes previous escalations, such as the 2008-2009 Gaza War, where Israel's military responses aimed to dismantle Hamas's capabilities.
