The IDF revealed on Friday, what it described as intelligence showing a Hamas command center located under a the Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. In a briefing, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari told members of the foreign press corps that there are areas in the hospitals that are used by Hamas to direct its military operations.
Palestinians in Gaza have been offered citizenship, relocation for their families, and a financial reward to snitch on Hamas.
Hamas is very popular unfortunately. Still hundreds, maybe thousands now, of collaborators including the family of its leadership.
Oh yea also your numerical comparison is more like 1/50 are Hamas fighters or directly involved. We (as in everyone native to the region) have big families with lots of kids which is why the population demographics look like they do. My grandma was 1 of 12 siblings. The guy I linked is 1 of 9. But as the guy I linked said the kids are taught and expected that being a militant fighter is a noble goal so a few young men in each family end up becoming fighters with family support.
First you bomb their houses, schools, and hospitals, then you offer them a financial reward to snitch.
I don’t think that makes anyone but the dumbest motherfucker excited.
Take it or leave it.
Ones the shortest path to a good life for the kids. Being stubborn and martyring for the cause is what everyone there is taught is right at the schools. Including the UN run ones.
And you seemed to have missed the citizenship and relocation to a safe place with protection. The only threat to them at that point is the violent thugs that run their government and the people who think collective punishment is OK who want revenge.
Germans went through this too BTW.
