The Gaza-Israel conflict from 2024 to 2026 was marked by significant military and political events. It began with the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in October 2024, a major blow to Hamas. A ceasefire in January 2025, mediated by Qatar, temporarily halted hostilities but was soon broken by Israel's 'Operation Might and Sword' in March 2025. Mass protests in Israel and a UN warning of potential genocide in May 2025 highlighted the conflict's domestic and international ramifications. A third ceasefire in October 2025 aimed to initiate peace, but tensions persisted with incidents like the Israeli drone strike in February 2026. The return of Ran Gvili's body in January 2026 marked a significant moment in the ceasefire process. However, ongoing airstrikes and a dire humanitarian crisis in March 2026 underscored the region's volatility.
