        You didn’t answer them. Why don’t unsuccessful attempts to blindly and indiscriminately murder Israelis count?

          Did I ever say they don’t count? The point is that both Israel and Hamas violated the “truce”, making it a stretch to say there was an actual truce prior to October 7th.

          Israeli civilians and Palestinian civilians suffer as a result of the exchanges between the IDF and Hamas.

          Both the IDF and Hamas do not care about their civilians.

          Both the IDF and Hamas do not care about killing civilians to achieve their goal.

          But the IDF has been doing this for far longer than Hamas and helped to create them in the first place.
