Israel - Hamas Conflict: Concluding Part And why can’t Israel neutralise their offensive armaments: the rockets and missiles? The answer to this question lies in the complexity of the topography of the Gaza strip. Having been driven into the sea, literally, Gaza is a densely populated state. Their population centres have no breathing spaces. Being dense in population, they provide Hamas with the perfect cover for hiding their equipment arsenal and personnel. Hamas is known to have hidden armaments and ammunition under hospital buildings, religious places and also schools. The sanctity of these institutions prohibits the use of destructive instruments. Israel has provided videos of Hamas firing rockets within the precinct of hospitals. While it may have robbed Hamas of legitimacy, it enhanced its effectiveness and survivability. Israel has often claimed that Hamas uses its people as a defensive shield. The claims could be correct as Hamas use civilians as their military assets. Thus, Hamas hides its assets within the civilian infrastructure and let Israel take the blame for bringing down buildings. For Hamas, it is sound tactics.
