🧵Hamas films its own war crimes— booby-trapping tunnel shafts in residential homes, fighting in civilian clothes, firing rockets at Israeli towns. Then people like @piersmorgan wonder why many areas of Gaza are destroyed. Hamas shows us why. Journalists ignore it. Examples: 1/

Hamas openly films its fighters ALWAYS in civilian clothes burying IEDs across Gaza—like here in Jabaliya. This is their central war strategy. Then people act shocked that areas of Gaza are in ruins, shocked the IDF is not going into these areas without removing threat first. 2/

Here are more war crimes filmed by Hamas themselves. Here seen burying rocket launchers, admittedly aimed at civilian locations in the Gaza Envelope. It's all there for the media to report, but somehow they can't "find" these videos. 3/

Hamas films a sniper in civilian clothes inside a civilian home—now a military target under the laws of war. They’ve done this across Gaza. Saying this is justified as “guerrilla warfare” isn’t a defense. It’s a war crime—and it’s what brought Gaza to this point. 4/

Hamas continues to fight from ruined buildings, dressed as civilians. In Beit Hanoun, just a few dozen fighters hid in rubble and tunnels for weeks. This is why so areas of Gaza are leveled—Hamas converts neighborhoods into battlefields. 5/

Pro-Hamas "media" outlet Electronic Intifada and others proudly post these Hamas & PIJ supplied videos. Many deny these crimes, demanding “verification” from journalists. But Hamas already supplies the footage. 6/

Source: See account of Electronic Intifada for videos posted by Hamas & PIJ. The post here provides some still shots of actual videos. These accounts promote and laud these videos, with analysis. They also appear to get “inside information” from the terrorists themselves.
