Hamas Deliberately Targeted Children

Reports have been coming in from Israel that during the attacks Hamas made no distinction between men, women, children, or the elderly.  The Jewish Kibbutz of Kfar Aza, located near Gaza, was the site of a massacre as the corpses of dozens of men, women, & children were found.  A video released by Hamas showed militants attempted to behead a dead Israeli man with a gardening tool.  Israelis soldiers found homes soaked in blood and the bodies of dead Israelis lying everywhere.  Many IDF veterans reported that they had never witnessed barbarity like this before.  Images of the massacre, including dead Israeli children, soon circulated the internet.  



Hamas spokesmen initially tried to deny that the militants deliberately targeted children, but testimony of captured Hamas terrorists along with the discovery of documents of the plan of attack found on dead Hamas militants soon contradicted this claim.  In a stunning video, a captured Hamas terrorist admitted that Hamas fully intended to attack and rape both women & children (Link to Video)

The maps and documents recovered from dead Hamas fighters revealed a well-coordinated plan to kidnap and murder young children from the nearby Jewish communities.  The documents reveal that Hamas specifically studied each community for some time and attacked with the full intention of targeting women & children while killing as many people as possible.  One IDF official, who declined to be named while the investigation is ongoing, said he was astounded by the degree of planning that went into ensuring maximum civilian casualties. He said, "I've never seen this kind of detailed planning" for a mass terrorist attack.

This proves that the Hamas claims that they did not intentionally target children was nothing but a lie.  Hamas did deliberately target children.  The detailed maps clearly showing the communities and the places to attack illustrates that they planned this attack for quite some time with the full intention of killing as many people as possible with a specific goal to kidnap and kill children.
