Hamas leader cited Saturday's attack as a response to the Gaza blockade, West Bank raids, Al Aqsa violence, settler attacks, and settlement expansion.
Early Saturday morning, Hamas militants from Gaza initiated a heavy rocket attack on four Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv, Rehovot, Gedera, and Ashkelon.
But in 2006, Hamas won the Palestinian legislative elections and gained further control of Gaza in 2007, and it has been in a fight to keep control ever since.The conflictsIn late Dec. 2008, Israel began a three-week military operation in Gaza, resulting in over 1,400 Palestinians being killed, according to the Institute of Middle East Understanding.
The conflict ended due to intense diplomacy by Egypt, led by President Mohammed Morsi. At least 167 Palestinians were killed during this operation. A ceasefire was brokered on the 11th day between Israel and Hamas, facilitated by Egypt, Qatar, the U.S., and diplomatic efforts.Historically, prior agreements have provided temporary calm between Hamas and Israel, but the fundamental conflict issues remain unaddressed, laying the groundwork for subsequent attacks, which is why this conflict has persisted for so long.
