Taking about the Gaza–Israel conflict, in the Gaza Strip, which is governed by Egypt, Israel fought three wars: the 1948 Palestine War, the initial occupation of Gaza during the Suez Crisis, and the 1967 takeover of Gaza. One per cent of the Gaza Strip's population was killed, subjected to torture, or imprisoned by Israel during the first occupation.
In 2023, 1,143 persons were killed (mainly civilians) when Palestinian militants assaulted Israel. In response, on April 2024, Israel launched an assault that killed over 34,000 Gazans and bombed the Gaza Strip.
