Gaza

Gaza City is the capital of the Gaza Strip. It has seen many changes of rule, and in 1994 it was transferred to the control of the Palestinian Authority. After the 2006 Palestinian elections, a political struggle broke out in the city between the Fatah movement and Hamas, which led to the terrorist organization taking control of the Strip. After the October 7 massacre, Israel launched a combined operation to destroy the terrorist organization Hamas and return the Israeli hostages.
