The opening as it read in 2010

Large-scale conventional warfare beyond the peripheries of the Gaza Strip began when Israel launched Operation Summer Rains ( , Mivtza Gishmey Kayitz ), the codename for an IDF military operation in the Gaza Strip that began on June 28, 2006, and its first major ground operation in the Gaza Strip since Israel's unilateral disengagement plan was implemented between August and September 2005.1 Operation Summer Rains was followed by Operation Autumn Clouds ( , Mivtza Ananei Stav ), launched on November 1. Israel's stated goals in Operation Summer Rains were to suppress the firing of Qassam rockets from Gaza into the western Negev , and to secure the release of Corporal Gilad Shalit , who had been captured by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on June 25.2 The soldier was captured amid a background of violence between the IDF and Palestinian militant groups since the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. According to statistics published by the Israeli government, 757 missiles from Gaza hit Israel between the withdrawal and the end of June 2006. The IDF had responded with artillery fire and air raids. . During the operation the pace of both rocket fire and shelling increased dramatically, and the IDF mounted numerous ground incursions into the Gaza Strip to target militant groups and their infrastructure, including smuggling tunnels in the Philadelphi Corridor . On the first day of the conflict, Israel also bombed the only electrical power plant in the Gaza Strip. At the start of the incursion, Israel said the operation could end if Shalit was released but noted that it had exhausted all the diplomatic means towards this end that it considered tenable. Egypt acted as a mediator over the issue of the officer's release, and on 15 August a senior Hamas official said it would not release Shalit except in exchange for the release of thousands of Palestinian detainees by Israel.3 When Operation Autumn Clouds ended on 26 November with an Israeli withdrawal and ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, no deal for the release of Shalit had been reached.4 The ceasefire was only shakily observed, with rockets hitting Israel at an average rate of just over forty five per month before the next major flare-up of violence in May 2007, according to the Israeli government. During this intervening period Hamas did not itself take responsibility for rocket fire into Israel, and Israel refrained from firing tank or artillery shells into the Gaza Strip.5 The ceasefire broke down completely amid escalating conflict between Hamas and Fatah .
