Come and hear about the war crimes committed by Hamas. This is an important post, read it all.
I mean, beyond the "usual" things they do, like killing Israeli civilians, LGBTQ+ individuals, and opposition figures in Gaza. This war crime is the relentless rocket fire on Israeli civilians. In 2001, Hamas, the Gaza basee terrorist organization, began independently producing and launching rockets into civilian population centers.
Since then, especially after Israel fully withdrew from Gaza in 2005, Hamas' rocket fire intensified, and their launch capabilities expanded significantly. Instead of investing in Gaza's infrastructure, Hamas diverted aid funds, equipment provided by the UN and world governments to build rockets with the sole purpose of indiscriminately killing Israeli civilians. They placed launchers and bomb-making facilities within civilian populations and schools. The attached video shows Hamas using sewage pipes and hoses to construct long-range rockets, and an image displays missile depots and launchers inside a mosque and a Gaza youth movement building.
Rocket attacks in the early years killed dozens of civilians, with thousands injured despite citizens seeking shelter during rocket alerts. At this point, Israel decided to invest billions in the Iron Dome defense system to protect its citizens. Israel's commitment to protecting all citizens, both Jewish and Arab, contrasts sharply with Hamas.
After years of effort, Israel successfully deployed the Iron Dome, boasting a 96% success rate in intercepting rockets aimed at civilian centers. The system identifies and intercepts only those rockets posing a threat to population centers, sparing open areas.
Launching such rockets into civilian areas is a war crime, turning launch sites and missile depots into legitimate military targets, even within civilian populations. Imagine the Israeli casualties if Israel hadn't neutralized missile depots or activated the Iron Dome.
Now, consider the following data:
The cost of producing a Hamas rocket ranges from $100 to several thousand dollars for a more sophisticated one. They use simple materials like cement supplied by the UN, irrigation system pipes, and other basic tools. Israel, on the other hand, invests a significant amount in Iron Dome missiles, with each interceptor costing between $50,000 and $200,000. Israel's annual investment in defense, protecting both its Jewish and Arab citizens, amounts to billions, while Hamas invests billions in developing rockets aimed at killing civilians and in the development of terrorist infrastructure.
Since the current conflict began, Hamas has fired over 9,000 rockets at Israel, with over 10% landing within Gaza itself. The Iron Dome intercepted over two thousand rockets, costing nearly $200 million for the entire interceptor supply. Imagine the potential damage if all these rockets hit Israel – thousands of rockets could cause an estimated over a thousand casualties, thousands of injuries, and extensive damage.
Hamas' continued rocket fire on Israeli civilians is a war crime. It always has been and always will be. We can no longer turn a blind eye to this. After Hamas carried out a brutal massacre in addition to rocket attacks, we had no other choice.
Israel stands on the side of morality and justice. While Hamas fires missiles at civilian populations and commits atrocities against innocent civilians, Israel targets only legitimate military objectives according to international law. Israel uses precision missiles, costing hundreds of millions of dollars, while Hamas fires indiscriminate rockets. Hamas poses a threat to Israeli citizens, committing war crimes without restraint, and it can not continue.
In the pictures: the summary of the data written in the post about the Hamas rocket fire and a video of a rocket falling on the road. Imagine how many people could be killed by her.
