Background
The first civil war happened in 1994 when the South Yemen

northern-dominated government led by President Ali Abdullah
Saleh. The assassination of prominent southern leaders and the
growing influence of northern military and political figures in
the south heightened suspicions and animosities.

the conflict led to the development of the Oslo Accords. The Oslo
accords emerged from the secret negotiations facilitated by
norway. Under the Oslo accords, there was mutual recognition of

Invasion: On January 3, 2009, a massive massacre was
committed by the Israeli ground units when they entered
Gaza for the purpose of destroying Hamas's tunnel
networks and rocket-launching sites.Ceasefire: It was set by
Israel at the beginning and then, after it, Hamas also set it.
The tragic part of the story actually was with the reported
casualties in the war. More than 1400 Palestinians and 13
Israelis lost their lives.
