Yet, Hamas will not lay down their arms, release the hostages, or stop to fire rockets into Israel’s civilian populated areas.
Hamas could stop this mess at any time, but the plan is to have as many dead bodies as possible for their cause.
The ironic thing is that Hamas initiated this mess by violating every known UN Rules of War and Geneva Convention, while demanding protection under these same Rules and Conventions.
Until Hamas lays down their arms and release all the hostages, why should Israel stop and not Hamas?
