Operation Protective Edge

Operation Protective Edge was a military campaign launched by Israel in July 2014 to stop rocket attacks and eliminate militant groups like Hamas in Gaza. The operation involved airstrikes, ground invasions, and naval actions targeting military infrastructure and tunnels used by militants. The goal was to reduce rocket fire into Israel and weaken militant capabilities, while aiming to minimize civilian casualties. The conflict resulted in significant destruction and loss of life on both sides, highlighting the ongoing tension and complexity of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute. The operation lasted about seven weeks, ending with a ceasefire agreement.
