You seriously need to update your knowledge of current events. There have been
no Israelis in the Gaza Strip since 2006. The Palestinian Authority took over control
of the Strip at that time, and was soon overthrown by Hamas, who are now in
control there. If the Gaza Strip is occupied, then Hamas is the current occupier.
Israel is not "fighting for" the Gaza Strip. You may have become confused by Israel's
air operations to neutralize the infrastructure used to launch explosive rockets across
the border toward Israel's civilian population centers. There was no ground invasion,
which would certainly be a big part of any attempt to take control of a place.
Also, recall some ancient history ... way back to 2006 ... when Israel withdrew all
of its settlements and security forces from the Gaza Strip, and handed it over to the
Palestinian Authority. It wasn't long after that when Hamas took control of the area
away from the Palestinian Authority in armed conflict. That was the last time anyone
fought for the Gaza Strip. Hamas immediately settled down to the serious business of
nation building, by setting up a vast network of tunnels along its border with Egypt,
importing missiles from Iran, and setting up its vital rocket-launching infrastructure.
Once those urgent humanitarian needs are stable, Hamas will presumably turn its
attention to the frills, such as the development of an economy, Natural Resources,
tourism, utilities, public health, education, etc.
Because they have been seized by Israel in 1967, and the UN considers them as occupied lands.
Gaza and West Bank are pieces of Palestine seized by Israel in 1967
Militants from Gaza wish to cause harm and mayhem in Israel. As a result, Israel built a fence to keep them out.
