This is a list of individual Israel Defense Forces (IDF)/Israeli Air Force (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〔 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.〔Adam Taylor, ("The lopsided death tolls in Israel-Palestinian conflicts" ), ''Washington Post'', 11 July 2014.〕 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, many of which have inaccurate trajectories,〔("LIVE UPDATES: Three lightly hurt after rocket hits Be'er Sheva; Gaza death toll over 100" ), ''Haaretz'', 11 July 2014. : "Projectiles launched by Gaza militants are largely inaccurate."〕〔Amos Harel, ("No end in sight for Operation Protective Edge" ), ''Haaretz'', 9 July 2014: 'The fact is that most of the rockets fired, as of this writing, have fallen in open areas or were successfully intercepted, with the Iron Dome system exhibiting impressive abilities.'〕 especially Qassam rockets, many of which hit open fields,〔〔 versus Israel's combined military forces, naval gunboats to the east, tanks positioned on the land borders, and IAF aircraft,〔("Israeli Offensive on Gaza Continues: 69 Palestinians killed, of whom 60 are civilians, including 22 children and 13 women, and 469 others wounded, mostly civilians, including 166 children and 85 women; Driver of Press Vehicle Killed; 70 Houses Destroyed" ), Palestinian Centre for Human Rights 10 July 2014.〕 equipped with F-15 fighter jets, AH-64 Apache helicopters, Delilah missiles, IAI Heron-1 drones and Jericho II missiles.〔 Israel's civilian population has, in addition, access to shelters, early-warning sirens and is defended by the Iron Dome missile detection defence system.〔Owen Jones,("'Israel under renewed Hamas attack', says the BBC. More balance is needed" ), ''The Guardian'', 9 July 2014.〕 A spokeswoman for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights queried whether Israeli air strikes targeting homes were compliant with International humanitarian law and International human rights law. Israel states that Hamas places its armouries in densely populated areas to make civilians human shields.〔Hayden Cooper, ("Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu says airstrikes in Gaza to continue as UN questions campaign's legality" ), ABC News, 12 July 2014.〕 In March 2015, according to UN OCHA, 2,220 Palestinians had been killed, of whom 1,492 civilians (551 children, 299 women), 605 militants and 123 of unknown status.〔(''Fragmented Lives: Humanitarian Overview, 2014'' ) OCHA March 2015.〕 The IDF calculates 2,127 killed claiming 55% were civilians and 45% militants.〔William Booth, (Here's what really happened in the Gaza war (according to the Israelis) ) Washington Post 3 September 2014〕〔(Report: 3 prisoners captured in Operation Protective Edge released ) Jerusalem Post, 16 August 2014〕 Israeli casualties consisted of 6 civilians (including 1 Thai national) and 66 soldiers,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Operation Protective Edge, Casualties, Ynet )〕5 of whom reportedly died from friendly fire.〔Elie Leshem, Lazar Berman and Marissa Newman, ("Serious tank-on-tank friendly fire incident under review" ), The Times of Israel, 17 August 2014.〕 The Associated Press, examining 247 airstrikes that hit residential compounds, out of the some 5,000 Israeli bombing raids, determined that of the 844 killed, 60% or 508 were presumed civilian children (280, of whom 19 were babies and 108 preschoolers between the ages of 1 and 5), women and older men. 98 or 11% were confirmed or suspected Hamas militants.〔("Report finds high civilian death toll during Gaza war" ), Haaretz, 14 February 2015.〕 In the wake of Avigdor Liberman's Sunday 20 July comment that the IDF is the "most humane and bravest army in the world", Israel's Ambassador to the United States, Ron Dermer, in an address delivered before Christians United for Israel on Tuesday, 22 July, remarked that Israel's armed forces merited a Nobel Prize in recognition of the "unimaginable restraint" they had exercised during the Operation.〔Raphael Ahren, ("Dermer: IDF deserves Nobel Peace Prize for 'unimaginable restraint'" ), ''The Times of Israel'', 22 July 2014.〕 Prime Minister Binjamin Netanyahu blamed Hamas, asserting that the civilian toll is desired by Hamas to use "telegenically dead Palestinians" for their cause. Palestinians stated that, given the overcrowding of the Gaza Strip, they are vulnerable everywhere.〔Jethro Mullen, Ian Lee, ("Kerry seeks Gaza ceasefire amid rising casualties" ), CNN News, 22 July 2014.〕 By 21 July, 132 of the casualties to that date were children〔Mark Oliver, Andrew Marszal, and Sam Dodge, ("Revealed: the Palestinian children killed by Israeli forces" ), ''The Telegraph'', 22 July 2014.〕 B'tselem tried to obtain a radio spot in which the names of those children killed in the conflict were to be read out. The Israeli Broadcasting Authority banned the attempt to air the information on the airwaves. 97% of the children killed in the last five years of the conflict have been Palestinian.〔Ruth Pollard, ("Israel bans radio ad listing dead children's names" ), ''Sydney Morning Herald'', 25 July 2014.〕 Israel's Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (ITIC) has alleged that Hamas uses children in their operations in the Gaza Strip, and that some militants killed in action were "falsely reported" as civilians or children. ==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.〔Karen Yourish, Josh Keller, ("The Toll in Gaza and Israel, Day by Day" ), ''New York Times'', 16 July 2014.〕 A lull as Israel mulled the pros and cons of an invasion〔 was broken when Mohammed Shaaban (24), senior commander of Hamas's military wing, was killed with two companions, Amjad Shabaan (30) and Khader al-Bashliqi (45),〔("List of the victims of Gaza" ), 10 July 2014.〕 when his car was struck by an Israeli missile near Wehada Street in Gaza City.〔Robert Tait, ("Thirteen killed by Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip" ), ''The Daily Telegraph'', 8 July 2014.〕 * In a strike on Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City, Ahmad Nael Mahdi (16) was killed, while two friends were wounded.〔Matthew Weaver, ("Children killed in Israeli air raids against Gaza – live updates" ), ''The Guardian'', 9 July 2014.〕〔 * In a strike at al-Qarara, north of Khan Younis, Suleiman Salman Abu al-Sawaween (age unclear) was killed, and another man critically injured.〔〔("Death toll reaches 17 as Israel targets northern Gaza" ), Ma'an News Agency, 9 July 2014.〕 * 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).〔〔Ishaan Tharoor,("These are the names of 21 children killed in Gaza" ), ''Washington Post'', 10 July 2014.〕 * An airstrike targeted a motorcycle near Abraj al-Sheikh Zayed, Jabalia, killing Fakhri Saleh Ajjouri (aka Saqie Ayesh al-Jaouri; believed to be around 22 years of age)〔〔 * An airtrike destroyed a house in central Gaza, and Rashad Yassin (27),〔 from the al-Nuseirat refugee camp, was later found dead under the rubble.〔 * A missile strike on the Beit Hanoun home of Hamas military commander Raed al Atar killed al-Atar along with five other people.〔Elior Levy, ("Palestinian report: Islamic Jihad commander, 5 others killed in IAF attack in Beit Hanoun" ), Ynet, 9 July 2014.〕 * Abdul Halim al-Eshra (55) was killed on his farm in Deir al-Balah; a civil defense crew discovered the body four days later.〔("On the 5th Day of the Offensive on the Gaza Strip, Israeli Warplanes Attack Civilian Facilities, Including Charities, Parks, Disabilities Rehabilitation Centers, Sport Clubs and Mosque, and Increasingly Target Houses" ), Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, 12 July 2014.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Israeli strikes and Palestinian casualties in the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
