In February 2008, the Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Hot Winter (Hebrew: מבצע חורף חם, romanized: Mivtza Horef Ham), also called Operation Warm Winter, in the Gaza Strip, starting on February 29, 2008 in response to Qassam rockets fired from the Strip by Hamas onto Israeli civilians. At least 112 Palestinians, along with three Israelis, were killed,1 and more than 150 Palestinians and seven Israelis were injured. There was some international concern over the scale of the operation, with the United States Department of State encouraging Israel to exercise caution to avoid the loss of innocent life, and the United Nations criticising Israel's "disproportionate use of force". The European Union demanded an immediate end to Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel and also Israel's "disproportionate use of force".

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
Operation Hot Winter was a February 2008 Israeli offensive in Gaza launched in response to Hamas rocket fire. Through 2020 the opening reported "At least 112 Palestinian militants and three Israelis were killed." Today's opening reports "At least 112 Palestinians, along with three Israelis, were killed," dropping the word describing who those 112 were, though it survives fourteen times in the body. A reader today does not learn from the opening that the count of 112 Palestinian dead was originally specified as militants, not unqualified civilians.
