The Middle East is very complicated, but this is hard to read as anything but misinformation. In the last legislative election in Palestine, Hamas received 44.45% of the vote to Fatah's 41.43% and gained a majority of the seats in the PLC [1]. Although Palestinian trust levels for Hamas are even slightly lower than Fatah, Hamas's actions over the past month are gaining broad Palestinian support [2]. There's people on both sides who want to see the conflict end, and people on both sides who are approving of the conflict (more so on the Palestinian side which feels scorned over the past 80 years). It is Hamas rocket fire and IDF rocket fire. There are other sides against this conflict and escalation, but to claim that this is not government action or approved of by large swathes of the population is incorrect.
