History

Historical Context

The Gaza–Israel conflict, rooted in the 1948 Palestinian exodus, has seen multiple wars, including the 2014 Gaza War, which resulted in over 2,200 Palestinian deaths, primarily civilians. Following Hamas's 2007 takeover, Israel imposed a blockade, exacerbating humanitarian crises.
