A comprehensive historical survey of the development of the Gaza Strip from the War of Independence until today. We will look at the Gaza Strip as an area with significant security implications throughout the years, along with the transformations it has undergone, including Hamas’ rise to power. We will define the threat posed by the Gaza Strip to Israel  today, both in security terms – rockets and tunnels- and ideologically – the dissemination of Hamas’ ideology to Arabs in Israel and in the Palestinian Authority.
