In response to a barrage of rocket attacks against Israeli cities and the ongoing threats by Hamas leaders for Israel’s destruction, Israel launched an air and ground assault against key Hamas targets in Gaza, including security installations, smuggling tunnels and weapons storage facilities. Israel’s Operation Cast Lead lasted three weeks and ended on January 17, 2009, when Israeli troops pulled out of Gaza.

Israel’s response to Hamas represents the fundamental right and responsibility of every government to protect its people.
For years, Hamas has built-up its military resources and know-how with the sole intention of attacking Israel and its population centers.
Anti-Israel demonstrations and rallies took place across the U.S. and around the world.
Editorial cartoons in Arab newspapers used age-old anti-Semitic images and motifs to vilify Israel’s operation in Gaza.
