34. Conclusions
● Hamas purposefully engages IDF troops in conflict from
dense urban areas such as the market in Shuja’iya or from
Humanitarian facilities such as the UNRWA School in
Beit Lahia.
● Hamas’ tactics flagrantly violate international law and the
most basic of moral precepts. Given these tactics, the
ultimate responsibility for the damage done to civilians as
well as the civilian infrastructure of Gaza lies with Hamas.
