Israel has exerted control over the Gaza Strip through various means over the past 20 years, though the nature and extent of control have fluctuated over time due to political, military, and international factors. Here are some key points:

Military Occupation (until 2005): Israel occupied the Gaza Strip along with the West Bank and East Jerusalem during the Six-Day War in 1967. For nearly four decades, Israel maintained direct military control over Gaza, including its borders, airspace, and territorial waters.

Disengagement (2005): In 2005, Israel unilaterally withdrew its military forces and dismantled its settlements in Gaza, a process known as the Gaza Disengagement. However, Israel maintained control over Gaza's borders, airspace, and territorial waters, effectively imposing a blockade on the territory.

Blockade (since 2007): Following the Hamas takeover of Gaza in 2007, Israel, along with Egypt, imposed a blockade on the territory. This blockade restricts the movement of goods and people in and out of Gaza, severely impacting its economy and limiting access to essential resources.

Military Operations: Israel has conducted several military operations in Gaza over the past two decades, including Operation Cast Lead (2008-2009), Operation Pillar of Defense (2012), and Operation Protective Edge (2014).

These military offensives aimed to counter rocket attacks from Gaza, target militant groups, and degrade Hamas's capabilities.

Security Measures: Israel has implemented various security measures along the Gaza-Israel border, including the construction of barriers, fences, and buffer zones to prevent infiltrations and attacks by militants.

Control of Resources: Israel controls the flow of electricity, fuel, and other essential resources into Gaza, often using this control as leverage in its relations with Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.

Overall, Israel's control over Gaza has been characterized by a combination of military, economic, and political measures aimed at maintaining security and asserting its interests in the region, while also facing international criticism for the humanitarian impact of its policies.
