The siege of Al-Qarara was a military engagement between invading Israeli forces and local Palestinian forces. It began on 6 December 2023, with al-Qarara being seen as a key town to control supply lines for the Israel army heading into Khan Yunis.[5] The battle resulted in significant damage to al-Qarara, with much of its infrastructure being destroyed alongside substantial damage to its ecology and cultural sectors. However, the IDF withdrew in April having failed to dislodge Hamas and other Palestinian militants from the town.
