History

Historical Context

In December 2008 Israel launched Operation Cast Lead, a three-week assault on Gaza that killed roughly 1,400 Palestinians and later prompted the IDF to admit using white-phosphorus shells. The campaign also targeted Hamas’s rocket infrastructure. Today the IDF’s strike on financier Khader Jamasi continues that pattern, aiming to cut the militant group’s financial flows.
