Hamas war crimes

Every day that goes by in the battle between Israel and Hamas, the number of civilian casualties rises dramatically. Palestine suffers from a ratio where thousands of men and women are murdered by missile assaults. Drama unfolds every day, but until Tel Aviv's attack is decisively halted, reversing the trend is unachievable. The explanation is straightforward: the militiamen turn Palestinian citizens into actual human shields by compelling them to stay in Gaza. The terrorists saw it as a win-win situation. Palestinians are subject to regulations imposed by Hamas. a constant condition of poverty and persecution. Individuals who managed to escape the Gaza Strip and secure a residency permit in Israel were compelled to stay in touch with their home countries and provide terrorists with confidential information, risking reprisals.

In these early days of the battle, there was only one goal that was emphasized: to destroy the Jewish State, not to protect the women and men of Gaza. Israel has sent out a warning to the people of Gaza in recent days: you have 24 hours to relocate south. A pointless yet essential precaution to keep innocent people safe. Whether they liked it or not, nobody could leave their house. All of this is part of Hamas's plan: the militants may accuse the IDF of war crimes if Israel escalates the assaults and more civilians are killed. Instead, if the IDF withdrew its military assault from Gaza because of collateral damage, Hamas would be less exposed and could keep fighting to defend its resources.

Additionally, a variety of tactics have been used to turn Palestinians into human shields. The majority of the time, Hamas launches rockets from or near heavily populated civic areas, frequently from or near buildings that the Geneva Convention specifies should be safeguarded (such as mosques, schools, or hospitals). Furthermore, a large number of military facilities are housed in civilian areas, ranging from ordinary neighborhoods to bases and through armies. And once more, the militiamen frequently sent civilians on intelligence gathering operations. An very precarious condition that, should the start operation proceed, might get worse irreversibly.
