    I know that Hamas doesn’t exclusively target civilians. Hamas as the government of Gaza probably wouldn’t risk their public image by instructing it’s militants to target civilians, but their militants did cause civilian casualties and some of them looked like they were out for vengeance.

    The rockets that Hamas fires are primitive and cannot be guided, and sometimes wind or other factors cause them to miss their targets. They have been targeting nearby civilian areas after giving warnings (lol), and while they are not as much of a terrorist organization as the IDF, they still have committed acts of terrorism on multiple occasions.

        Well, I am sorry, but calling yourself a defense force doesn’t make your terrorism more acceptable. Your forces still target civilians, take and torture hostages, terrorize people in peaceful areas, arm and defend criminals, and target and suppress journalists. Having a court acquit your heinous crimes doesn’t make them more justifiable either.

        I hope this is understandable.

      My bad, looks like that response was meant for the other person who claimed they only target civilians.
