Israel launches Operation Protective Edge against Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip starting with numerous missile strikes,  followed by a ground offensive a week later, amid growing tensions between Israel and Hamas following the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers in June and the revenge killing of a Palestinian teenager in July.

By August 26, twenty-one hundred Palestinians and seventy-one Israelis have been killed in seven weeks of fighting.
