Of course it's a shame for civilians, alas they've become all but indistinguishable from actual Hamas members after mass brainwashing
of the territory's youth, who are considered military assets...

Yeah, that's a bit harsh, and actually some in Gaza are also blaming Hamas for recent escalations, asking why they brought this retaliation/pending invasion upon them, and what exactly did they expect to gain from starting a battle they can't win while depleting precious weapons stocks.
But you can't un-bake a pita, and unless they'd like to belatedly rise-up and disarm Hamas -which rules with an iron fist- the general population of Gaza have put all their people in a real bad situation by saddling themselves with a reckless mini-regime that fires rockets into Israel from their residential neighborhoods .
As is so often the case with Muslim kooks, Hamas lacks situational awareness, and has overplayed it's hand: the terrorist organization is seen by Egypt's el-Sisi regime for what it is, a product of the Muslim Brotherhood for whom they will never shed a tear. Cairo has already closed/destroyed most Gaza-Sanai tunnels, while relations with Israel have 'never been better'--
so no help there.
so no help there.
Hamas also sided with the wrong side in the Syrian civil war, losing former sponsor/ally Bashir Assad (AND Hezbollah) in the process. Isolated and militarily/diplomatically stupid, Hamas has wasted every single opportunity it ever had -including a sympathetic US president- to fix Gaza in any way, instead pissing-away lives and foreign aid $ on futile rocket offensives against armed-to-the-teeth Israel.
After pushing their luck by firing upon the Israeli nuclear reactor in the Negev, justification for a full-scale invasion of Gaza has been amply provided, and the moment has arrived for Israel to confine these vile terrorist scum to the dustbin of history.
Go get 'em, Bibi-
