As the world looks on in horror at the escalating violence in Gaza, it is crucial to acknowledge the responsibility of Hamas and Islamic Jihad in the deaths of innocent Palestinian residents. While it is undeniable that Israeli airstrikes have resulted in civilian casualties, it is important to note that Hamas and Islamic Jihad are directly responsible for placing civilians in harm’s way by embedding their terror activities and infrastructure in civilian areas and neighborhoods.
Both Hamas and Islamic Jihad have a long history of using civilians as human shields and deliberately placing their military installations, weapons, and fighters in densely populated areas. They have also been known to fire rockets at Israel from residential areas, schools, and hospitals, which not only puts innocent Palestinians at risk but also violates international humanitarian law.
By placing their weapons and fighters in civilian areas, Hamas and Islamic Jihad ensure that any Israeli response will inevitably result in civilian casualties.
Hamas and Islamic Jihad also use propaganda to further their agenda and to manipulate the international community’s perception of the conflict. They encourage and even coerce residents to stay in areas that are likely to be targeted by Israeli airstrikes, claiming that doing so will deter Israel from attacking. However, the reality is that by staying in these areas, innocent civilians become nothing more than pawns in Hamas and Islamic Jihad’s deadly game of war.
The situation is particularly tragic for children in Gaza, who are among the most vulnerable and innocent victims of this conflict.
According to the United Nations, at least 58 Palestinian children have been killed since the violence began, and many more have been injured. In many cases, these children were killed by Hamas or Islamic Jihad rockets that misfired and fell back into Gaza or by weapons that exploded prematurely.
Hamas and Islamic Jihad’s disregard for the lives of innocent Palestinians is further exemplified by their refusal to cooperate with Israeli efforts to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza. Israel has offered to provide medical assistance and supplies, but Hamas and Islamic Jihad have rejected these offers, preferring to continue the conflict and use the suffering of the Palestinian people as a propaganda tool.

It is important to note that Hamas and Islamic Jihad are designated as terrorist organizations by much of the international community, including the United States, Canada, and the European Union. Their actions not only put innocent Palestinians in harm’s way but also undermine the prospects for peace in the region.
By using terror and violence instead of diplomacy and negotiation, Hamas and Islamic Jihad perpetuate a cycle of violence that leaves innocent Palestinians caught in the crossfire.
As the international community looks for ways to end the violence and bring peace to the region, it is crucial to hold Hamas and Islamic Jihad accountable for their actions. They must be held responsible for the deaths and suffering of innocent Palestinian residents of Gaza, and the international community.
