> "Hamas does not issue uniforms"

This is not true you can just google Qassam brigade to see their uniform, they have a very emblematic headband. They are hiding in tunnels though so you're not just gonna find them everywhere, Hamas does not have military equipment to be able to fight head to head with a modern military, it's just an insurgent group.

> once something is used for military operations, it is fair game as a military target.

Except you have to prove it was used for military operations, not just bomb hospitals. This is called a war crime.

> Regardless of civilians

well well



They do have uniforms, they just don't use them because it's way more effective to have Schrodinger super-position civilians who are soldiers when a gun is in their hand, and innocent civilians when they drop the gun.

Also, Hamas's leaders are worth over $10 billion collectively. They can at least afford basic uniforms and spray paint to mark their vehicles. But again, they won't do it, because civilian deaths are the last piece they have left for international support. Which comes in the form of aid, which they seize, and pad their $10 billion with.


you're misunderstanding. Palestinians fighting in plain clothes are not Hamas. they are ordinary citizens fighting for their lives because they have no choice
