• June 1967: Israel captures the Egyptian-controlled Gaza Strip during
six-day Mideast war. An Israeli census put the population at 380,000, at
least half of whom were refugees from Israel. Today the population stands at
about 1.5 million. The U.N. lists just over 1 million as refugees and their
descendants.



• December 1987: A clash in the Jebaliya refugee camp sets off Palestinian
uprising, which lasted until 1993 and claimed the lives of more than 2,000
Palestinians and 192 Israelis. The militant Islamic Hamas is formed early in
the uprising.



• September 2005: Israel withdraws its troops and all of its 8,500 Jewish
settlers. It retains control of Gaza's airspace, coastal waters and border
crossings.



• June 2007: Hamas violently seizes control of Gaza after routing forces
loyal to rival Fatah faction of President Mahmoud Abbas.



• June 2008: Hamas and Israel reach truce to halt the cross-border rocket
attacks and end Israeli offensives in Gaza.



• Nov. 5, 2008: Palestinians resume rocket and mortar fire into Israel after
Israeli incursion. The Israeli army says clashes erupted late Nov. 4 after
its forces uncovered a tunnel in central Gaza that militants planned to use
to abduct Israeli soldiers.



• Dec. 19, 2008: Hamas formally declares the truce over, rocket fire on
Israel intensifies.



• Dec. 27, 2008: Israel launches a fierce air offensive, killing more than
200 Palestinians in the first day. The government says the open-ended
campaign is aimed at stopping rocket attacks that have traumatized southern
Israel. Most of the casualties are security forces, but Palestinian
officials said at least 15 civilians were among the dead.



• Jan. 3: Thousands of Israeli troops launch a ground offensive in Gaza.
