Israel invades Gaza: "Operation Summer Rain" (27 June 2006)
According to Israeli PM Ehud Olmert the aim of the invasion — codenamed "Operation Summer Rain" — was "not to mete out punishment but rather to apply pressure so that the abducted soldier will be freed. We want to create a new equation — freeing the abducted soldier in return for lessening the pressure on the Palestinians." Then the systematic destruction of Gaza's civilian infrastructure began ...


At 11:51pm (Palestine time) on 27 June, Israel launched a large scale military assault on Gaza, as Israeli fighter planes carried out three airstrikes on Gazan bridges. Further strikes against Gazan power plants took place at 1:42am, sending most of Gaza into darkness. At 2:24am, Israeli forces began moving into Gaza to take control of the open areas east of Rafah. In the days that followed, the destruction and killing continued.
