Timeline: Conflict between Israel and Palestinians

The Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas launched its biggest assault on Israel in years, firing a barrage of rockets from Gaza and sending fighters across the border.

Israel said it was on a war footing and began its own strikes against Hamas targets in Gaza, with Israeli media reporting gun battles between bands of Palestinian fighters and security forces in southern Israel.

25 January 2006 - The Islamist group Hamas wins a majority of seats in a Palestinian legislative election. Israel and the US cut off aid to Palestinians because Hamas refuses to renounce violence and recognise Israel. 27 December 2008 - Israel launches a 22-day military offensive in Gaza after Palestinians fire rockets at the southern Israeli town of Sderot. About 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis are reported killed before a ceasefire is agreed.

March 2018 - Palestinian protests begin at Gaza's fenced border with Israel. Israeli troops open fire to keep protestors back. More than 170 Palestinians are reported killed in several months of protests, which also prompts fighting between Hamas and Israeli forces. August 2022 - At least 44 people, including 15 children, are killed in three days of violence that begin when Israeli airstrikes hit a senior Islamic Jihad commander.
