History

Historical Context

Operation Defensive Shield, launched by Defense Minister Ariel Sharon on 29 March 2002, was the largest West Bank offensive since the 1967 war, imposing curfews and demolishing homes for over a month. The operation cut suicide bombings by 46 percent, yet its tactics—curfews, demolitions and civilian displacement—reappear in today’s raids on Usarin and Aqraba, prompting renewed UN calls for stricter engagement rules.
