 And while the IDF is trying to minimize civilian causalities, per its usual procedure Hamas is trying to maximize them by using their own people as Human Shields.  The video Below shows the terrorists firing rockets from civilian neighborhoods (something the press will never report)

 

 Firing from civilian areas, putting their own kids in danger.  If Hamas doesn't care about its own kids what makes anyone think they will ever care about anyone else's (like Israel's).  Let that roll around in your head for a moment?  These people put their own kids in the line of fire.  Heck, even animals protect their young, but these bastards don't.
