The Gaza Strip is currently ruled by Hamas which is dead-set on opposing the Israeli Right to Exist. It has constantly bombarded Israeli cities close to it and recently expanded its firing range to the Israeli financial capital of Tel Aviv. The Israelis have surrounded Gaza with a blockade and armed border to prevent the influx of the very missiles used to perpetrate these attacks. This has caused a humanitarian problem in Gaza, resulting in increased fury to attack the Israelis. This vicious cycle self-perpetuates.
