Translation: Follow-up… Two martyrs arrive at Al-Aqsa Hospital after the occupation bombed a tent sheltering displaced people west of the city of Deir el-Balah in the central Gaza Strip

Translation: that, in a nutshell, is the whole problem.

You are posting every message about houses attacked, tents destroyed, crying children, number of innocent dead people, etc. (None of these numbers have ever been corrobated. As morbid as it sounds, satellite imaging of graveyards/burial sites would tell you to a certain extent the true death toll inflicted by Israeli bombardments. No neutral number has ever been put to the test, only Hamas numbers (which obviously has no interest in telling them).

Usually days after the event, we hear from Hamas that "x martyrs have died in a recent attack".

So my conclusion is:

1. Israel is precisely attacking places of Hamas "martyrs". The number of dead "important people" is telling. Alongside it, people, including children, die. That is never an acceptable thing. Hoever, it is well known that Hamas operates out of schools, hospitals, mosques, civilian quarters. So these people that die in the attacks, they were either:

a) willingly collaborating with Hamas

b) used as civilian shields, likely against their wills.

c) actually innocent folks who were unable to flee.

It is obvious that Hamas never considered that Israel would dare do what they are currently doing: Bombing Hamas out of command leadership despite the world-wide outcry. Of course Israel will now be elevated to "Parias of the World" (a position they have solidly held in the Arab world, ever).

There are first signs that Hamas is willing to talk about some kind of truce. It is a sign that they are absolutely bewildered by Israels reaction to the massacre that started all.
