Revision as of 10:15, 19 July 2014

This is a list of individual IDF/IAF operations in Operation Protective Edge, which began on 8 July 2014, naming the targets and casualties. After Israel's unilateral disengagement from Gaza in 2005, and following on the joint Israeli-Egyptian blockade of the Gaza Strip since 2007, several military operations have been conducted against the area, including Operation Cast Lead in 2008, in which 1,417 Palestinians and 13 Israelis died, Operation Pillar of Defense 2012[1] in which 120-160 Palestinians and 2 Israelis died, and the March 2012 Gaza–Israel clashes. The lopsided nature of casualties reflects the conditions of asymmetric warfare in this region , in differences in weaponry, defensive technologies, operating terrain and local attitudes: the Gaza Strip has high habitation density whereas the contiguous area of southern Israel where most rockets fall, is the sparsely populated Negev.[2] The forces in the conflict are Gaza-based militants, who have stocks of long-range rockets, such as Grad missiles but use mainly home- or factory-made missiles, largely inaccurate,[3][4] especially Qassam rockets, many of which hit open fields,[5][6] versus Israel's combined military forces, -naval gunboats to the east, tanks positioned on the land borders, and IAF aircraft,[7] equipped with F-15 fighter jets, AH-64 Apache helicopters, Delilah missiles, IAI Heron-1 drones and Jericho II missiles.[8] The Israeli civilian population has, in addition, access to shelters, early-warning sirens and is defended by the Iron Dome missile detection defence system.[9] A spokeswoman for the UN Human Rights Office queried whether Israeli air strikes targeting homes were compliant with International humanitarian law and International human rights law. Israel claims that Hamas places its armouries in densely populated areas to make civilians human shields.[10]

The figure in brackets refers to the age of the deceased. 'Note. In reports with a drone missile strike followed by an IAF strike, the former may refer to roof knocking (Editor's note)

Day 1: Monday night-Tuesday 8 July 2014

By day's end Israel had struck 220 targets in Gaza and 24 people had died. 157 Gazan rockets were fired at Israel, with no casualties.[11]

A lull, as Israel mulled the pros and cons of an invasion,[1] was broken when

  • Mohammed Shaaban (24), senior commander of Hamas's military wing, was killed with two other passengers, Amjad Shabaan (30) and Khader al-Bashliqi (45)[12] when his car was struck by an Israeli missile, near Wehada street, at the Shabia crossroads of Gaza city[1]
  • Five minutes later, two explosions occurred close by in the Zarqa neighbourhood.[1]
  • In a strike on Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City one child, Ahmad Nael Mahdi (16) was killed, while two others, his friends, were wounded.[8][13]
  • In a strike at al-Qarara, north of Khan Younis, Suleiman Salman Abu al-Sawaween (22/30) was killed and another man critically injured.[12][13]
  • An airstrike targeted a tuk-tuk vehicle in the al-Shujaiyeh neighborhood in Gaza City, killing Ahmad Moussa Habib (16) and his cousin Mohammad Habib (22).[13][14]
  • An airstrike targeted a motorcycle near Abraj al-Sheikh Zayed, Jabalia, killing Fakhri Saleh Ajjouri/=Saqie Ayesh al-Jaouri (22)?[12][13]
  • 15.00. Missile strike from an F-16 fighter jet on the al-Kaware (Kaware'a) family’s home, consisting of several apartments, in Khan Younis, while targeting activist Odeh Ahmad Mohammad Kaware, the one son who is a Hamas activist,[15] killing 8 Palestinians, including six children, and seriously wounded 28. Accounts vary of the incident. The strike was preceded by a drone-fired warning flare, a 'Knock on the roof' procedure involving a small mortar shot or unarmed missile at the target.[15] Relatives and neighbours gathered at the home to form a human shield, according to one source.[13] Five families evacuated after a warning missile was fired, but neighbours gathered on the roof to try and hinder the operation,[8] In the past strikes were often aborted if civilians crowded rooftops.[16] A third account said the neighbours gathered after an initial strike, to prevent a further one.[15] The official assessment was that it was a 'tragic mistake' based on a belief the home was empty.[16] A B'tselem investigation determined that, the family was contacted by the Israeli military to leave the premises at 1.30 pm., and they evacuated it, gathering outside. At 2:50 pm, a drone missile struck the solar water tank on the roof, and after several minutes, the family went back inside, and 4 were on the roof, while several were in a stairwell or courtyard when the 3 pm missile struck.[17] After the incident, the IDF changed its initial explanation of Hamas targets from targeting the homes of Hamas activists who cary out 'high-trajectory fire towards Israel' to 'homes of senior activists that function as command and control headuarters'.[17]

The eight casualties were:-

Siraj Iyad 'Abd al'-Al (8) died of injuries later.

  • At 11:40 P.M, in a joint ISA-IDF operation, an airstrike hit a home in Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip killing senior Islamic Jihad operative Hafiz Hamad (30), believed to be responsible for attacks on Sderot, and five members of his family, just after they went to bed. According to B'tselem, which has collected an eyewitness account by the grandfather,[18] no warning was received.[17] Four children survived unharmed after the mother placed them in the safest room, but the last was injured before it could be relocated and was taken to the ICU.[19]
