    Their intent is that by their “martyring” Palestinian civilians, they’ll be able to use their deaths as PR against Israel.

    Yes, that is a cynical take. That’s how Hamas operates.

      I think there was no intent. I think Israel used proximity shielding like the US did as an excuse to kill civilians.

        why do you people think Israel wants to kill civilians? Do you really think the IDF is just hundreds of thousands of monsters who love killing? What is wrong with you people?
