There is plenty of proof of Hamas running their war from schools, hospitals and mosques.
But you will probably not accept them as they usually come from IDF who's on the ground filming these things.

- septic-liqueur 3y agoSame as Hamas is fighting an asymmetrical warfare at a disadvantage by IDF, IDF is at the same disadvantage on the journalistic side. They have the monopoly on reporting their side while Hamas is every person with a camera creating whatever narrative they want. So yeah I can see why you choose not to take their word when they say that they have evidence. But trust me bro :-) But seriously now, I don't really understand why it would be shocking to discover Hamas is operating from hospitals, mosques and schools. They are fighting a war and will do anything they can to gain an advantage. It's very convenient to deploy your base under a hospital, for so many seasons, that I really don't understand why people find it hard to believe...
- pests 3y ago> it would be shocking to discover Hamas is operating from hospitals, mosques and schools. I don't think you're wrong, but I think its wrong when the response is "lets bomb them" instead of figuring out something else.
- hellojesus 3y agoWhat is the something else? There is an extensive tunnel network that likely allows insurgents to travel from the hospital to elsewhere. So you can't lay siege to it. You could send troops in, but now you're in disadvantaged close quarters combat, which is horrific and guaranteed to get many of your troops killed. The only reasonable strategy is to bomb the hospital. It saves the loves of your troops. Will there be civilian casualties? Yes. Is that preferred to losing your own citizens? Absolutely.
