    Hamas forfeited their position to complain about differing combatants and civilians when they chose to engage as irregular combatants.

    Hamas isn’t the only group complaining about civilian deaths though, so this is a weird point to bring up that doesn’t really add anything to the conversation.

    To that end, everyone who stays in combat areas when told to evacuate should be considered a combatant

    Children are not combatants. Women (generally) are not combatants. Refugees are not combatants.

    This is also a double standard, because Israel has been told for decades to leave. Does that make Israeli civilians combatants? No, obviously not.

    Civilians should not be killed. Organizations that intentionally kill civilians are terrorists organizations, which includes both Hamas and Israel.
