when did israel invade palestine

Israel has conducted multiple military invasions in Palestinian territories over the years. Most recently, Israel launched a large-scale ground invasion into the Gaza Strip on October 27, 2023, after Hamas militants attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. This operation involved over 100,000 Israeli soldiers targeting northern Gaza with the aim of destroying Hamas and freeing hostages. The conflict is part of the larger, long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict with multiple military engagements over decades. Historically, Israel invaded parts of Palestine after declaring its independence in 1948, which led to the first Arab-Israeli war and Palestinian displacement. Another major invasion occurred during the Six-Day War in June 1967 when Israel captured the Gaza Strip from Egypt, among other territories. Thus, the dates to note for major invasions are 1948 following Israel's independence, 1967 during the Six-Day War, and the recent invasion starting on October 27, 2023.
