    Same. And Hamas put those tunnels under public infrastructure on purpose and with the public’s knowledge.

    I get it: how else were they supposed to fight back against illegal occupation?

    Well, they definitely should not have done a bunch of mass shootings of civilians at concerts and stuff. This thread baffles me. What did they think the response would be?

    Now the whole place is condemned because of the tunnels, which Israel has every right to destroy now, since they represent the means of Hamas’ offensive capabilities.

      What did they think the response would be?

      A permanent state of war. Bafflingly, this is what they wanted, this is what they predicted, and this is what the Palestinian public overwhelmingly supports. Except the neighboring Arab states aren’t going to war for them like they wanted, it seems they learned their historical lessons that Palestine hasn’t.

      They provoked a predictable response and then scream in the media that Israel isn’t playing fair, yet again. Evidently they want a situation where they can launch bloody hordes of civilian murdering and raping soldiers and Israel’s hands are bound preventing them from responding meaningfully. They want permanent war, but only one they can fight, only war that favors them, and they’re going to keep trying no matter how many times they lose.
