To be pedantic, this whole round of violence kicked off when Israel assassinated a senior Hamas official. They chose to kick this hornets nest. Whether that was a was good idea remains to be seen.

By round of violence, you seem to be referring to essentially an Israeli response. In October alone Gazans fired over one hundred rockets and seventy mortors into Israel. In November, roughly 30 prior to the assassination.
