History

Historical Context

Israel launched Operation Cast Lead in December 2008 against Hamas in Gaza, after Hamas’s 2006 election win and its 2007 takeover of the Strip. The three-week war killed about 1,400 Palestinians—roughly 900 civilians—and 13 Israelis, leading to UN Security Council Resolution 1860 in January 2009. The cease-fire, overseen by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, remains fragile, echoing today’s civilian-casualty reports.
