How many Israelis live in Gaza?
Zero. Israel pulled out of Gaza unilaterally about 8 years ago, and removed all settlements. If any would try to live there under Hammas rule, they would likely be shot.
Since the Gaza strip is not contiguous with the West Bank then why is that particular strip of land so important rather than say a strip of land 25 miles over in any direction?
Important to whom is the question:1) Israelis: The Gaza Strip is one of the few places where the British Mandate of Palestine did not overlap with the historically Jewish region called the Land of Israel. Similar to how Palestinians have never made direct references to Tel Aviv being sacred to them, Jews have never made references about Gaza being sacred to them. If however, you were to move the Gaza Strip upwards along the Israeli coastline by one space east (that is to say that the western border of the Gaza Strip would start where the eastern border is now), the Gaza Strip would have direct access to Tel Aviv, which is Israel's largest metropolis and which would even more severely hamper Israel's ability to negotiate amicably with the Palestinians. Also, you would be beginning to move into religiously significant territory.By and large, for Israelis, the Gaza Strip is significant specifically because it is insignificant.2) Palestinians: What makes Gaza important is nothing other than history. It was the first territory that Israel finally conceded as a contiguous region (the West Bank territory conceded was non-contiguous) for a Palestinian State from what used to be the British Mandate of Palestine. Many Palestinians would probably have been happier if the first Palestinian State (of contiguous size) would have been formed in the Galilee along the Lebanese border as there remains to this day a large Arab-Israeli population there. If the Gaza territory, though were shifted one space west, (that is to say that the eastern border of the Gaza Strip would start where the western border is now), it would be in Egypt and thus not part of the British Mandate of Palestine which represents the entire former Arab region. If Gaza were shifted one space east, it would be bordered by Israel on three sides, further facilitating the debilitating blockade around the territory. (Currently the Egyptian Army coordinates the blockade with Israel, but that is always subject to whoever controls the Egyptian Army.)By and large for the Palestinians, the Gaza Strip is significant because it is the first contiguous piece of territory of the (hopefully) future independent Palestinian State. Location was largely irrelevant.

When did the fighting start over the Gaza strip?
The fighting in the Gaza Strip is due to issues going back thousands of years. Currently, the West Bank is occupied, but not being actively fought over. It is a disputed territory and both the Israeli Government and the Palestinian Authority are jockeying to control some or that entire region in the future. - In the 1880s the Jews scattered throughout Europe and America made known their desire to return to the Promised Land. Since they were expelled by the Romans, they had no land to call their own. The desire to reestablish them in Palestine was called the Zionist Movement. - After World War I, Britain announced it welcomed the idea of Jews settling in Palestine. However the Arabs residing in the area did not like it. They felt the land belonged to them. During and after World War I, many Jews migrated to Palestine. However the tension between them and the Arabs grew. So even before fighting in the Gaza Strip began, the tension was already there.
Why is the Gaza Strip so important to the Palestinians?
Israeli Answers(1) The Gaza Strip is not so important. Until 2005, Israelis lived on the strip and used the land to grow produce and live peacefully. In 2005, Israel made the mistake of expelling all of the Jewish residents. Gaza now produces nothing. In the four years since the withdrawal, over 8000 rockets have been fired by Palestinian terrorists at Israeli targets. Fortunately, most of these rockets are not very good at hitting targets. One missile misfired and caused a major crisis in the Gaza strip when the sewer system backed up as a result.(2) The Gaza Strip is one of the few places where the British Mandate of Palestine did not overlap with the historically Jewish region called the Land of Israel. Similar to how Palestinians have never made direct references to Tel Aviv being sacred to them, Jews have never made references about Gaza being sacred to them. By and large, for Israelis, the Gaza Strip is significant specifically because it is insignificant.Palestinian AnswerWhat makes Gaza important is nothing other than history. It was the first territory that Israel finally conceded as a contiguous region (the West Bank territory conceded was non-contiguous) for a Palestinian State from what used to be the British Mandate of Palestine. It is also a place that shows just how horribly Israel can collectively punish the Palestinian people even when they supposedly wish for a two-state solution on account of the blockade both on land and by sea. The above answer describes how Gaza produces nothing and I would agree with him that Gaza produces nothing. However, this has nothing to do with laziness. When a location has one of the highest population densities in the world, is constantly bombed (Operation Cast Lead was symbolic of more common targeted-strikes), receives minimal raw materials, and has no access to export markets, it is impossible to produce anything.
What does the arabic word Gaza mean?
It depends on how it is spelled. There are two different roots that yield the same sound. Gháza (غزة) is the name of city in Palestine currently ruled by Hamas as well as the slang term for Qita3 Gháza (قطاع غزة) which is called the Gaza Strip in English. Ghazá (غزا) means "he invaded".
