History

Historical Context

Operation Cast Lead began on 27 December 2008 when the Israel Defense Forces launched a three-week assault on Gaza, destroying roughly 2,692 buildings and 46,000 homes and killing over 1,300 Palestinians. UN agencies warned the damage would cripple civilian livelihoods, a legacy echoed today as Hamas, Israel and the UN confront renewed cease-fire breaches and billions needed for reconstruction.
