Hamas attack on Israel: a surprise or a predictable result of the previous policy

Summary/Abstract: The Jewish-Palestinian conflict has been ongoing since 1948, increasing in intensity fromtime to time and leading to new victims. The most tragic intensification of the conflictin its history occurred after October 7, 2023, when Palestinian terrorists from the Hamasgroup attacked the inhabited areas of Israel near the Gaza Strip from land, air and sea.This terrorist attack resulted in the death of over 1.2 thousand Jewish citizens and the kid-napping of approximately 250 people. A few days later, Israel launched a land operationin the Gaza Strip to finally deal with Hamas. However, as a result of the Israeli military re-sponse, several tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians have been killed or injured so farand a serious humanitarian crisis has occurred, which raises many doubts in the contextof Israel’s compliance with the law of armed conflict. The aim of the article is to attemptto diagnose the causes of this conflict, which the international community has not beenable to effectively resolve for decades.
