Historical Context

The recent Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, resulting in at least 42 deaths, echo the long-standing conflict that intensified after the 2005 Israeli disengagement from Gaza. Since then, Israel has conducted thousands of airstrikes, often criticized for targeting civilians. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza, marked by severe shortages and evacuations, reflects patterns seen in previous conflicts, notably the 2014 Gaza War, which similarly devastated civilian infrastructure and caused mass displacement.
