%X In December 2008 Israel launched a military attack with the code name ¡°Operation Cast Lead¡± in Gaza Strip. This introduction aims at re-examining the legal status of the area after this operation and the application or not of the law of belligerent occupation according to the criteria of ¡®potential¡¯ and ¡®real control¡¯ of International Humanitarian Law.
