Event details
The 50-day long war Israel waged on Gaza, during the summer of 2014, has been far more devastating than the previous conflicts over this Palestinian territory. But it was neither unprecedented nor unpredictable. It is in fact the twelfth war Israel waged on Gaza. An overview of the past rounds of hostilities should help not only to understand the current crisis, but, more important, to find ways to break this seemingly endless cycle of violence.
