The incident touched off the Israel-Hamas War in which Israel used its formidable military to attack Gaza. As of early thirty thousand Palestinians had lost their lives in the conflict. The Israel-Hamas War is the latest conflict in the long history of hostility between Israelis and Palestinians, sparking intense divisions across the globe as political leaders and citizens debated the justification for the harsh Israeli response"--Provided by publisher.
