English: The
Gaza War, also known as
Operation Cast Lead (מבצע עופרת יצוקה) or the
Battle of al-Furqan (معركة الفرقان), was a three-week armed conflict between
Israel and
Palestinian armed forces led by
Hamas, that took place in the
Gaza Strip during the winter of 2008–2009. Israel's stated aim was to stop
rocket fire into Israel and arms import into the Gaza strip. After the beginning of the conflict, Palestinian groups continued firing rockets in response to what they characterized as "massacres". Israeli forces attacked suspected rocket firing teams, striking in the densely populated cities of
Gaza,
Khan Yunis and
Rafah.
