Conclusions

● Hamas purposefully engages IDF troops in conflict from dense urban areas such as the market in Shuja’iya or from Humanitarian facilities such as the UNRWA School in Beit Lahia.

● Hamas’ tactics flagrantly violate international law and the most basic of moral precepts. Given these tactics, the ultimate responsibility for the damage done to civilians as well as the civilian infrastructure of Gaza lies with Hamas.
