abstract
| - The Gaza–Israel conflict is an ongoing dispute within the frame of the long-term Israeli–Palestinian conflict, in the territory of the Gaza Strip and Southern Israel. The dispute has initiated in its current form in summer 2006 and is considered low level ongoing, though Hamas and Israel remain at an official cease-fire, achieved following operation Pillar of Defense in November 2012. Palestinian militant actions escalated in the Gaza Strip, following the overwhelming election to government of the Islamic political party Hamas in 2005 and 2006. The conflict escalated with the split of the Palestinian Authority to Fatah government in the West Bank and the Hamas Government in Gaza and the following violent ousting of Fatah. Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel and Israel's blockade of Gaza have exacerbated the conflict. Under its disengagement plan in 2005, Israel retained exclusive control over Gaza's airspace and territorial waters, continued to patrol and monitor the external land perimeter of the Gaza Strip, with the exception of its southernmost border (where Egypt retained control of the border and border crossings were supervised by European monitors) and continued to monitor and blockade Gaza's coastline. Israel largely provides for and controls Gaza's water supply, electricity and communications infrastructure. According to Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, Israel remains an occupying power under international law. The United Nations has stated that under resolutions of both the General Assembly and the Security Council it regards Gaza to be part of the "Occupied Palestinian Territories". Meanwhile, the Fatah government in the West Bank, officially recognized as the sole representative of the State of Palestine refers to Gaza Strip as part of the Palestinian State and doesn't recognize the Hamas government, hence avoiding of interfering in the conflict of Hamas-managed Gaza Strip and Israel.
