This booklet clearly explains the context and necessity of Israel’s 2008–2009 Operation Cast Lead against Hamas in Gaza. It traces years of escalating rocket attacks on Israeli civilians, Hamas’s use of human shields, and repeated ceasefire violations. The booklet highlights Israel’s efforts to avoid civilian casualties and provide humanitarian aid, even as Hamas intensified its violence. A powerful read for anyone seeking to understand Israel’s right and duty to defend its citizens.
