On Saturday morning, the armed wing of Hamas launched the most devastating ground assault against Israel in 50 years. In response, Israel declared war and began an indiscriminate aerial bombardment of the Gaza Strip, while calling on its reserve forces in order to muster counter-attacks on Palestinian fighters who managed to seize control of Israeli settlements. On both sides of the Gaza separation fence, bodies are now lining the streets as critical infrastructure is leveled. However, this conflict did not begin on Saturday and where it goes next could change the course of history.
