The importance of Operation Cast Lead, also called the Gaza Strip War, is that it was the first major military confrontation between a governing Hamas Party and the Israeli Defense Forces. It resulted in over 1300 Palestinian casualties. It also set the tone for future Israel-Hamas relations, namely that Hamas was less inclined to attack Israel with rockets in the wake of the violence.
