I take the point that it is densely populated. That being said, Hamas as the government, has the responsibility to put its military where there are no civ. They can push civ elsewhere. And there are some spots that look pretty barren.

I’m not going to say that’s impossible as I was not there. But attached is what UALive reported 14 days ago. Note that a couple days before that they reported an incident where some kids through rocks and the Israelis responded with riot control agents.
