Gaza War

Israeli-Palestinian military conflict

Gaza War refers to armed conflicts between Israel and Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip, particularly Hamas.

The term may designate several distinct conflicts—notably the 2008–2009 war, the 2014 war, and the war beginning in October 2023 after Hamas attacks on Israeli territory.

Context usually clarifies which conflict is meant: The Gaza War displaced over a million people.

Also called the Israel-Gaza War or Israel-Hamas War.
