Edit Request: Insert subheader in Background edit
After the first sentence of the Background a '2005-2006 ceasefire' subheader should be provided for clarity. Drocj (talk) 06:44, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
Disputed map edit
The map in the infobox is not verifiable, no reliable sources supporting it could be found on the article page or the file page on Commons, so it is essentially OR.

Hamas claims of casualties edit
Hamas never said that 600-700 of its members died. The Haaretz article in fact quotes Hamas as saying 200-300 Al-Qassam brigades members died, but also quotes Hamas saying 49 of its members died. It also quotes "250 killed" at the police station, but these are not strictly from Hamas, nor is it clear if they are combatants at all. It also quotes an additional 150 security personnel, and again its not clear if they were combatants in the Gaza war or not.VR (Please ping on reply) 02:39, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
After the Hamas election in 2006, they rejected the recognition of Israel, but offered a 10 year truce, or Hudna edit
Typically covering 10 years, a hudna is recognised in Islamic jurisprudence as a legitimate and binding contract. A hudna extends beyond the Western concept of a cease-fire and obliges the parties to use the period to seek a permanent, non-violent resolution to their differences.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/nov/01/israel
This is vital information on the events leading to the Siege of Gaza in 2007. The offer of Hudna should be inserted in this article in the third paragraph of the Background section, after "Hamas rejected..." Bill Shortell (talk) 16:23, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Don't include Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades under Fatah in infobox edit
Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades separated from Fatah in 2008, prior to this conflict. Fatah should not be in the belligerents column, at least not as a parent organization of Al-Aqsa. Bill3602 (talk) 23:03, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
