Complete takeover of control in the Gaza strip by Hamas on June 15, 2007
On June 15, 2007, Hamas achieved complete control over the Gaza Strip, marking a decisive moment in the Fatah-Hamas conflict. This takeover followed several days of intense and violent clashes, culminating in Hamas seizing all Palestinian National Authority (PNA) government institutions in Gaza. During this final stage, Hamas replaced all PNA officials with members of its own organization, thereby establishing its sole administrative and political authority over the Gaza Strip. This shift in control had significant implications for the region's political landscape and the broader dynamics of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
