===Pelanggaran gencatan senjata===
====2011 (rekonsiliasi Hamas–Fatah pertama)====
Dipengaruhi Musim Semi Arab (''Arab Spring''), keretakan antara Hamas dan Fatah berhasil dihapus pada tahun 2011. Pembicaraan rekonsiliasi didorong oleh unjuk rasa di [[Ramallah]] dan Gaza. Dua aktivis Hamas di Gaza tewas akibat serangan IDF setelah [[Abu Mazen|Mahmoud Abbas]] menyatakan ingin bepergian ke Gaza dan menandatangani sebuah perjanjian, meskipun katanya serangan ini merupakan tanggapan atas peluncuran satu roket Qassam yang tidak menewaskan siapapun.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Landau|first1=Idan|title=The unfolding lie of Operation Protective Edge|url=http://972mag.com/the-unfolding-lie-of-operation-protective-edge/93605/|publisher=+972|accessdate=30 July 2014}}</ref> Dalam wawancara dengan [[CNN]], Benjamin Netanyahu menyatakan bahwa pembicaraan rekonsiliasi tersebut merupakan ancaman penghancuran Israel. Ia sangat menentang adanya pemerintahan yang bersatu.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Ravid|first1=Barak|last2=Issacharof|first2=Avi|title=PM: Palestinian unity government would kill off the peace process|url=http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/pm-palestinian-unity-government-would-kill-off-the-peace-process-1.349890|website=Haaretz}}</ref>
 
====2012–2013====
Kedua sisi mengaku bahwa pihak lawan melanggar [[gencatan senjata 2012|perjanjian gencatan senjata]] November 2012. Menurut [[Ben White (jurnalis)|Ben White]], dua peluru mortar menghantam wilayah Israel dalam tiga bulan pertama pasca [[Operasi Pillar of Defense]], sedangkan empat warga Gaza tewas dan 91 lainnya cedera akibat serangan pasukan Israel. Pasukan Israel melepaskan tembakan ke teritori Gaza sebanyak 63 kali dan masuk ke Jalur Gaza 13 kali, serta menyerang armada nelayan Gaza 30 kali.<ref>[[Ben White (jurnalis)|Ben White]], [http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2013/02/2013220152044327694.html "What a 'period of calm' looks like in the Occupied Territories"], ''[[Al-Jazeera]]'', 22 February 2013.</ref>
 
Dalam tulsiannya di [[The National Interest]], David C. Hendrickson menulis bahwa setelah gencatan senjata 2012, meski ada tembakan roket sekali-kali dari beberapa kelompok kecil di Gaza, Netanyahu mengakui pada Maret 2014 jumlah serangan roket dari Gaza tahun lalu merupakan "yang terendah dalam satu dasawarsa terakhir."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Hendrickson|first1=David C.|title=http://nationalinterest.org/feature/the-thrasybulus-syndrome-israel%E2%80%99s-war-gaza-10968?page=show|url=http://nationalinterest.org/feature/the-thrasybulus-syndrome-israel%E2%80%99s-war-gaza-10968?page=show|publisher=The National Interest|accessdate=2 August 2014}}</ref> [[J.J.

Israel terus melanjutkan pemblokirannya. "[p]erlintasan berulang kali ditutup, zona penyangga ditetapkan kembali. Impor menurun, ekspor diblokir, dan semakin sedikit warga Gaza yang diperbolehkan masuk Israel dan Tepi Barat."<ref name="nathanthrall" />
 
Menurut Kementerian Luar Negeri Israel, terjadi 36 serangan roket pada tahun 2013 dan 85 serangan pada lima bulan pertama tahun 2014.<ref>{{cite web|title=Rocket fire from Gaza and Palestinian ceasefire violations after Operation Cast Lead (Jan 2009)|url=http://mfa.gov.il/mfa/foreignpolicy/terrorism/pages/palestinian_ceasefire_violations_since_end_operation_cast_lead.aspx|website=Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs|accessdate=2 August 2014}}</ref> Sebagian besar dari 85 roket tersebut ditembakkan pada bulan Maret setelah IDF melancarkan operasi yang menewaskan 3 anggota Jihad Islam.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Fiske|first1=Gavriel|title=Three Islamic Jihad operatives killed by IDF fire in Gaza|url=http://www.timesofisrael.com/gazans-pelt-southern-israel-with-massive-rocket-barrage/|agency=AFP|publisher=The Times of Israel|date=11 March 2014}}</ref>

===Peristiwa susulan===
[[File:Rockets from gaza (en).png|thumb|250px|Jangkauan rudal dari Jalur Gaza]]
Operasi ini diawali oleh serangkaian peristiwa yang dimulai dengan [[Penculikan dan pembunuhan remaja Israel 2014|penculikan dan pembunuhan]] terhadap tiga pemuda Israel pada bulan Juni 2014, yang menurut Israel dilakukan oleh dua orang anggota [[Hamas]].<ref name = "CBS 2014 Jun 26">{{Citation | url = http://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-ids-2-main-suspects-in-teens-disappearance/ | title = Israel IDs 2 main suspects in teens disappearance | newspaper = [[CBS News]] | date = 26 June 2014}}</ref><ref>{{Citation | title = Operation Brother’s keeper | contribution = In extended version of kidnapped teens call to policie, murderers heard singing in celebration | contribution-url = http://www.jpost.com/Operation-Brothers-Keeper/In-extended-version-of-kidnapped-teens-call-to-police-murderers-heard-singing-in-celebration-361270 | newspaper = The [[Jerusalem Post]]}}</ref> Hamas membantah tuduhan penculikan dan tidak ada bukti yang mengaitkan Hamas dengan penculikan ini,<ref>{{Citation | first = Joel | last = Greenberg | url = http://www.bellinghamherald.com/2014/06/30/3726878/kidnapped-israeli-teens-found.html?sp=/99/101/235/ | title = ‘Hamas will pay,’ Netanyahu vows after bodies of missing Israeli teens are found | publisher = [[The McClatchy Company|McClatchy]] | newspaper = [[Bellingham Herald]] | date = 30 June 2014}}</ref> meskipun pihak Hamas mengakui penculikan ini bisa saja dilakukan sebagai metode pertukaran sandera. Ratusan anggota Hamas ditangkap di [[Tepi Barat]] sebagai bagian dari operasi pembalasan Israel, dan lembaga-lembaga yang terkait dengan Hamas, termasuk lembaga amal, ditutup tak lama kemudian.
Pada tanggal 12 Juni 2014, [[penculikan dan pembunuhan remaja Israel|tiga remaja Israel diculik dari Tepi Barat]]: Naftali Fraenkel, Gilad Shaer, dan Eyal Yifrah.
