Captured Map Shows Hamas Deliberately Using Civilians as Live Targets
Confiscated Intelligence Map from Hamas
Hamas turn a Gaza neighborhood into a warzone.
This map, confiscated Wednesday (Jan. 7) by IDF paratroopers operating in the north of Gaza, shows how Hamas uses an entire neighborhood, rigging it with explosive devices and putting the entire civilian population at great risk. The map shows the al-Tatraa neighborhood in Gaza City divided into three areas of operation (red, blue and green). The dots on the map indicate where Hamas operatives had planted a variety of IEDs (improvised explosive devices), with the colors indicating the type of IED. Additional marks show sniper positions next to mosques. Next to the entrance of the el-Tawid mosque near to Shauuda Plaza at the top left of the map there is a sniper posting with marking indicating the direction of fire marked on the map. At the bottom center of the map there is a gas station where Hamas planted an IED which, if activated, could cause a very large explosion throughout the neighborhood.
An overall study of the map demonstrates how Hamas deliberately uses civilians, using them as live targets and hiding behind them; they plant IEDs at the enterances of homes, they booby trap homes and they use places of worship, all with no regard to collateral damage or civilian lives.

“The dots on the map indicate where Hamas operatives had planted a variety of IEDs (improvised explosive devices), with the colors indicating the type of IED”. So…connect the dots, detonate, and follow the trail back to Iran. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I read about this last night in a Isralie paper..The Israel Army are sending trained dogs with cameras into house to search, and when it seems safe the soliders go in.. Also how most of the top Hamas people are hiding out in tunnels, with rockets, bombs etc under Gaza.. It has been a well known fact that Hymas has used civilians and especially children as live targets for ages, nothing new here..They use schools hospitals and mosques, and then yell blue-murder when civilians get killed..Another interesting fact the UN driver that got killed the other day was killed by cross fire from Hymas not the Israelie Army..
