Hamas bragged about their successful operation to massacre 1400 Israeli men, women, children, and babies, and said they would do it over and over and over again. There was sexual abuse, burning people alive, and the taking of hundreds of hostages of all ages. It is five month later and Hamas is still firing rockets into Israel and have not released the hostages. Does this look like Hamas wants to put an end to this? Answer is “no”
Hamas had the option for the last five months to stop this mess by laying down their arms and releasing the hostages. They obviously think all this is worth it.
