Note: This is Part 7, the final part, in the series, Understanding Israel’s War.

This is only a partial list of what the Jewish nation has been through since the 1947 vote to create the modern state of Israel:

• Israeli War of Independence (November 1947–July 1949)
• Suez Canal crisis (October 1956)
• Six-Day War (June 1967) — Israel is attacked by Arab neighbors on the south, west, and north: Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. In addition, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Algeria sent troops and assistance to attack Israel. In only six days, vastly outnumbered Israel miraculously regained East Jerusalem from Jordan, the Golan Heights from Syria, and Sinai and Gaza from Egypt.
• Yom Kippur War (October 1973) — Egypt and Syria intentionally launch a surprise attack on the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur in an attempt to regain the territories lost to the Israelis during the Six-Day War. Once again, Israel won.
• Palestinian aggression in South Lebanon (1971–1982)
• 1982 Lebanon War (1982)
• First Intifada (1987–1993) — A large Palestinian uprising in the West Bank (Samaria and Judea) and the Gaza Strip.
• Second Intifada (2000–2005) — Second Palestinian uprising, a period of intensified violence, which began in late September 2000.
• 2006 Lebanon War (summer 2006)
• Gaza War (December 2008–January 2009)
• Hamas rocket attacks on Israel (2014)—An IDF offensive after the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers, with continual attacks on Israel by Hamas militants, and discoveries of several dozen tunnels into Israel for the purposes of terrorizing and killing civilians. (Note: I was there during the rocket attacks in 2014 and had the opportunity to see the Iron Dome in operation, operated by 18 and 19 year old female Israeli Defense Force soldiers.)
• Hamas rocket attacks on Israel (2021) – ongoing. Whereas in 2014, 2,500 rockets were fired on Israel over 50 days, Hamas has already fired 3,100 rockets at Jewish communities in the first six days of this war. In addition, civil unrest has developed in many communities with Muslim Arabs rioting.

In between these wars and uprisings against Israel is a much longer list of continual skirmishes, resulting in the deaths of thousands of innocent Israeli civilians.
