History

Historical Context

Operation Cast Lead, Israel’s three-week offensive that began on 27 December 2008 and ended with a unilateral cease-fire on 18 January 2009, razed roughly 46,000 homes and left over 100,000 Gazans homeless. The campaign’s heavy aerial bombardment of densely-populated neighborhoods set a precedent for today’s strikes on Deir al-Balah and Shujayea, which similarly target civilian areas and fuel the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
