A behind the scenes look at the violence between Israel and Hamas

Amid the recent escalation of violence between Israel and Hamas, the New York Times takes a look at why there are these sudden explosions of violence between the two that seem to always follow the same pattern.

In it’s analysis “Why Do Israel and Gaza Keep Fighting? Because It’s in Their Leaders’ Interests“, the New York Times (NYT) states that while the cycle of violence-ceasefire-repeat that keeps verging on all-out war may look like pointless destruction to the outside world, analysts say it is amply serving the interests of the two main antagonists.
In it’s article, the NYT points out with each iteration of the cycle that does not lead to a conflagration, Israel and Hamas are serving one another’s purposes, and getting more and more used to doing business this way.
