    The Report includes an assessment of the events leading up to the operation, describing the overall objectives of Israel and presenting the rationale behind Israel’s strategic decisions.
    As a democracy committed to protect its citizens and sovereignty while adhering to international law and the highest standards of human rights, Israel is at the forefront of the new asymmetric battleground of the war against terror entities and cross border terror attacks.
    The report is available here, unfolds details about war crimes perpetrated by Hamas and other terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip,  the conduct of the IDF forces during the operation, military and legal challenges faced by the IDF (such as fighting in a heavily populated area against a terrorist organization that used civilians as human shields) as well as Israel’s humanitarian efforts and the story of Israel’s home front under attack.
