1 year agoHamas knew that Israel will retaliate, they placed their military activities specifically into civilian places to either prevent their opponent to fight back while they are killing them and if they fight back they have to get through Hamas’ meat shields. Palestinian knows it (you can find interviews before Oct.7th with Palestinian in Gaza agreeing with the idea) you know it, Israel knows.
Israel also knows that they have limited amount of time to eliminated as much of Hamas as possible before international community turns against them. They play with time and balance on edge.
It sucks, it’s sad and should have never happened. But it’s in no way black and white situation.
It’s not as simple as you put it. e.g. Look up what Gaza people had to say about Hamas placing rockets in these spots before Oct the 7 . Also where do you get confidence of the data reported by terrorist controlled government are reliable?
