While Saturday's shock attack by Hamas was one of the deadliest in Israel's history, the conflict has been rumbling on for decades.
The Middle East has been embroiled in strife for decades, with the latest round of attacks in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict leaving a death toll of over 1,500.
The two areas, along with the rest of Israel, are what Palestinians have defined as Palestine for 2,000 years. But Hamas and other Palestinian groups believed the territory to be stolen from Palestinians, leading to several wars over the following decades.Israel eventually occupied the West Bank and Gaza - illegally, according to the United Nations.
But senior Iranian officials praised the attack - President Ebrahim Raisi spoke by phone with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Islamic Jihad leader Ziad al-Nakhalah, the state-run IRNA news agency reported on Sunday.
