History

Historical Context

Operation Cast Lead, launched by Israel on 27 December 2008, lasted three weeks, killing over 1,300 Palestinians and destroying about 46,000 homes. The war prompted UN Security Council Resolution 1860 on 9 January 2009 calling for a cease-fire, which both sides ignored. The recent Mawasi tent airstrike, killing three civilians, echoes that pattern, fueling renewed UN and international pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to curb urban warfare.
