Gazakrigen i 2014, også kendt som Operation Beskyttende Kant (Hebraisk: מִבְצָע צוּק אֵיתָן, transskription: Miv'tza Tzuk Eitan, oversat til engelsk: "Operation Strong Cliff"),[note 1][24][25][26] var en militær operation iværksat af Israel den 8. juli 2014 i Gazastriben – et palæstinensisk område, der har været styret af Hamas siden 2007.[note 2] Efter en kidnapning og drab af tre israelske teenagere på Vestbredden af Hamas – udført en Hamas-affilieret palæstinensiske militante – indledte Israel Defense Forces (IDF) "Operation Brother's Keeper", hvor omkring 350 palæstinensere, inklusive næsten alle de aktive Hamas-militante på Vestbredden, blev anholdt.[27][28][29] Hamas affyrede efterfølgende et større antal raketter ind i Israel fra Gazastriben, hvilket udløste en syv uger lang konflikt mellem de to sider. Det var en af de dødeligste konflikt mellem Israel og palæstinenserne i årtier. Kombinationen af palæstinensiske raketangreb og israelske luftangreb resulterede i tusindvis af dødsfald, hvoraf størstedelen var palæstinensere fra Gazastriben.[30]

Den israelske militæroperation havde til formål at stoppe raketbeskydning mod Israel fra Gazastriben. Omvendt havde Hamas' angreb til formål at bringe internationalt pres på Israel, hvor det strategiske mål var at tvinge sidstnævnte til at ophæve den israelsk-egyptiske blokade af Gazastriben; blandt dets andre mål var at afslutte Israels militæroffensiv, få en tredjepart til at overvåge og garantere overholdelse af en våbenhvile,[31] løslade palæstinensiske politiske fanger og overvinde dens isolation.[32] I henhold til BBC indledte Israel luftangreb mod Gazastriben som gengældelse for raketangrebene fra Hamas, Palæstinensisk Islamisk Jihad (PIJ) og andre palæstinensiske militante grupper.[33]

Den 7. juli, efter at syv Hamas-militante døde i en tunneleksplosion i Khan Yunis – der var forårsaget enten af et israelsk luftangreb (ifølge Hamas, BBC og en højtstående IDF-embedsmand)[34] eller en utilsigtet eksplosion af deres egen ammunition (ifølge IDF) – påtog Hamas sig ansvaret for raketter, der blev affyret mod Israel, og afsendte efterfølgende 40 raketter mere mod Israel.[35][36] Den israelske luftoperation begyndte officielt den efterfølgende dag, og den 17. juli blev den udvidet til at omfatte en landinvasion af Gazastriben med det erklærede mål at ødelægge Gazas tunnelsystem; [37] den israelske landinvasion sluttede den 5. august.[38] Den 26. august blev der annonceret en tidsubegrænset våbenhvile.[39] På dette tidspunkt rapporterede IDF, at Hamas, PIJ og andre palæstinensiske militante grupper havde affyret 4.564 raketter og morterer ind mod Israel, hvor over 735 af projektilerne var blevet skudt ned af Israels Iron Dome. Det meste af Hamas' morter- og raketbeskydning var dog unøjagtig og ramte åbent og ubeboede landområder – mere end 280 af projektiler var tilmed landet i Gazastriben.[40][41][42] 224 projektiler havde ramt boligområder.[43][44] Palæstinensiske raketter dræbte også 13 civile palæstinensere i Gaza – 11 af dem børn.[45][46] IDF angreb 5.263 mål i Gazastriben, hvorf mindst 34 kendte tunneler blev ødelagt[43] og to tredjedele af Hamas' 10.000 raketarsenal blev enten opbrugt eller ødelagt.[47][48]

Mellem 2.125[19] og 2.310 palæstinensere fra Gaza blev dræbt under konflikten, mens mellem 10.626 og 10.895[49] blev såret (inklusive 3.374 børn, hvoraf over 1.000 blev efterladt permanent handicappede).[50] Estimater af de civile tab i (relativ til samlet tab, altså inkl. militante tab) Gazastriben varierer fra mellem 70 procent fra Gazas sundhedsministerium,[12][49] 65 procent fra FN 's Protection Cluster af OCHA (baseret til dels på Gazas sundhedsministeriums rapporter),[18] og 36 procent fra israelske embedsmænd.[51][19] FN anslår, at mere end 7.000 hjem til 10.000 familier blev ødelagt sammen med yderligere 89.000 hjem, der blev beskadiget, hvoraf omkring 10.000 af disse blev hårdt ramt af bombningen.[52] Ombygningsomkostningerne blev beregnet til at beløbe sig til mellem US$4-6 milliarder over 20 år.[53] 67 israelske soldater, 5 israelske civile (inklusive et barn)[54] og en thailandsk civil blev dræbt[12] mens 469 israelske soldater og 261 israelske civile blev såret.[15] På israelsk side vurderes den økonomiske effekt af operationen at have været NIS 8,5 milliarder (ca. US$2.5 milliarder) og et BNP-tab på 0,4 procent.[55]

Noter

  1. ^ Tyrkiske Anadolu Agency rapporterede, at en israelsk militærtalsmand havde forklaret, at den ikke-bogstavelige oversættelse af operationens navn til engelsk skulle "give en mere 'defensiv' konnotation".[21] IDF's officielle arabiske navn for operationen, oversat til engelsk, er "Operation Resolute Cliff".[22][23]
  2. ^ Selvom Hamas kontrollerer Gazastriben, anser størstedelen af det internationale samfund (inklusive FN's Generalforsamling, FN's Sikkerhedsråd, Den Europæiske Union, Den Internationale Straffedomstol og mange menneskerettighedsorganisationer) Israel for at besætte Gazastriben, idet det kontrollerer regionens luftrum, kystlinje og de fleste af dens grænser.

Flag of Hamas.svg
The en:Shahada in white calligraphy on a green background. Reported as the "Flag of Hamas" in flaggenlexikon.de . Uploaded 2007.

The Flags of the World website discussed the validity of this flag after it was displayed as an alleged "flag of Hamas" by Wikipedia in 2007.

According to a 2006 comment:

"The military branch of Hamas has a different flag, green with Shahada on it. Maybe that's why there is a confusion about the Hamas flag. One is white with Hamas emblem on it, and the military branch's flag is green with a shahada? At least, the green flag is there at all protests and demonstrations." (Valentin Poposki, 03 Mar 2006)

Use of this flag was reported as early as 2001:

"Hamas' flag is green (Muslim colour) with Arabic words in white. I saw this flag several times at Hamas demonstrations and at generic anti-Israel events in Palestine. Hamas emblem is here." (Santiago Tazón, 20 Dec 2001)

While this flag has apparently been spotted in Hamas demonstrations since at least 2001, it cannot be identified as "the flag of Hamas". It has rather been carried by Hamas supporters as symbolizing Islam or Islamism, not as an emblem of Hamas as an organization.

"It would be wrong to name the flag as the Hamas flag. Such flags, with the Sha'ada in white on green or black, are used by other Islamic groups and are not unique to Hamas. Therefore it is not the 'Hamas flag' but rather a flag used also by the Hamas." (Dov Gutterman, 29 Mar 2003)

Description from B'Tselem source: "Gaza Strip, July 2014: A constant state of emergency

According to B’Tselem’s initial inquiries, by yesterday evening (14 July 2014) at least 172 Palestinians had been killed in Israel’s airstrikes on the Gaza Strip. This number includes 34 minors (eight younger than 6 years old), 20 women (under 60) and 10 senior citizens. Our field researchers in Gaza have been working ceaselessly, night and day, to document events. Our field researchers in the West Bank have been lending a hand by collecting testimonies over the phone. Our office staff has been processing and verifying information, and trying to convey the incomprehensible scope of the infringement on human rights.

The following seven photos were taken by our field workers in Gaza. They include images from the Kaware’ family home, where eight people, including six minors, were killed, and from the Hamad family home where six members of that family, including one girl – a minor – were killed."
