Gaza crisis

About a month and a half ago, Israel declared war at Gaza Strip (more than 1.5 million Palestinians living in an area that considers the most crowded area on earth, comparing the size of the land and the population). This war lasted more than 20 days, leaving behind more than 1300 Palestinians died, and more than 4000 injured badly, from the Israeli side, the results were different, since only 13 Israelis Died, and about 200 injured. The reason for the war Israel said, to protect Israel from Hamas’s rockets. Hamas has killed less than 5 Israelis in the past 6 months. So this make’s Israeli’s reason with no backup, what I believe is the reason for this war that Israel declared on Hamas in Gaza, is the Israeli elections that is going to take place in the next few days. The Israeli leaders used Gaza and the killing they created there in order to for them to raise their popularity between the Israeli Citizens, for them to win in the election.
