In the summer of 2014, a two-month Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip, dubbed Operation Protective Edge, led to the deaths of an estimated 2,200 Palestinians and 72 Israelis.

Israel imposed a blockade on the Gaza Strip in 2007, after Hamas won control of the exclave following a decisive victory over the Fatah party in the Palestinian legislative election the year before.
