Here is an accurate account of the events that led up to, and took place during, Israel's 50-day-war against Hamas and its rocket and mortar fire into Israeli population centers from the Gaza Strip. Israel's official name for the war was Operation Protective Edge, and it was launched against Hamas in order to protect Israeli communities on the southern edge of Israel, near, or on, the border with Gaza. It is an actual, factual account of what took place, when it took place, and why it took place. It shows another perspective-a proper perspective-differing to what was presented on television screens around the world; it gives a different narrative to that told by the Hamas-intimidated journalists who covered the the third round of this ongoing conflict. The author was on the Israel side of the border fence, unconstrained by Hamas threats not to present the true picture. The author has covered the Israeli-Arab conflict for more than three decades and has produced several international best selling books detailing the subject.
