Hamas couldn’t care about who dies in this war - they have fully embraced death as a means to an end itself - the Palestinian dead are props to be used to bludgeon Israel in the international media; the terrorists get to claim martyrdom, and any Israelis who are killed by Hamas fulfills their jihad against the Jews and infidels.

Expect this scenario to play out again, but I do have to say that Israel managed to get out a response far quicker this time than they did in the Qana incident. They have learned their lesson, and they are doing a better job managing the information war.

That doesn’t mean that Israel will always be perfect and avoid civilian casualties, but Israel tries harder than anyone else to avoid collateral damage.

Hamas, on the other hand, goes out of its way to maximize civilian casualties.
