STORYLINE:

The 2021 Gaza War was the fourth war that the Israeli has launched on Gaza . The Israeli forces launched the gravest war on Gaza with eleven days of intense bombings on the Gaza Strip. Civilians were killed and injured, tens of thousands displaced, homes and vital infrastructure destroyed and the supply of basic services severely disrupted.

Since 13 April, 2021, tension has prevailed across the territories because of Israeli attacks and restrictions on Palestinians in East Jerusalem, in addition to the Israeli court's decision to evict 12 Palestinian families from their homes in favour of Israeli settlers. Palestinian families facing forcible eviction from their homes in East Jerusalem's Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood rejected the Israeli Supreme Court's proposal to reach a deal with Israeli settlers regarding the ownership of their homes.

On 6 May, Palestinians were violently attacked by Israeli occupation forces and settlers during a protest against mass evictions in Sheikh Jarrah. After weeks of tension and clashes between Palestinians and Israeli police in East Jerusalem, Israeli aircraft struck hundreds of targets in Gaza on 11 May. According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, the Israeli army killed 260 Palestinians, including 129 civilians and 66 children. Furthermore, Israeli forces injured 1,948 Palestinians, including 610 children. Tens of thousands of homes were damaged, and more than 2,000 others were destroyed.
