How satisfying it is to see Israel's claims about Hamas deliberately storing weapons in residential areas is now being backed up by the Palestinians themselves - to wit, 133 Palestinian NGOs who have denounced this dangerous and cruel practice by Hamas.
Palestinian factions and human rights organizations have called on Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups to stop storing weapons in residential areas following another explosion that killed one person and injured 14 others on Thursday [July 21]. They also demanded a thorough investigation into the explosion in order to hold those responsible accountable.
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip said that the explosion took place in a warehouse used by Hamas for storing weapons.
The weapons would be moved from populated places and placed far from civilian areas - where of course they will be more easily detected by the IAF. As far as Al-Mezan goes, that's just too bad. The Palestinian NGO Network, an umbrella organization comprising 133 member organizations, also called for a "Serious and transparent" investigation into the explosion.
It looks like the Palestinians are at the end of their tether, fed up with Hamas' practice of deliberately storing its weapons ammunition in the midst of civilian areas where the danger of unintended explosions and civilian casualties is high.
Fadel Al-Manasfeh, a Palestinian writer, echoes the Israelis: "Hamas chooses popular markets as a safe place for its ammunition warehouses because it knows that Israel does not target such places." The Israelis try to pinpoint their attacks on these warehouses so as to minimize civilian casualties, and before launching them the IDF makes sure to warn civilians to leave the immediate area, through telephone calls, emails, and the "Knock-on-the-roof" technique.
Israel never deliberately "Targets" civilian areas.
