Surprise: Hamas stored rockets near Kindergartens, mosques

Well, here's one reason that the IDF waited until late in the day to target those long-range rockets. Not only does Hamas shoot rockets at Israeli schools, they also shoot them from 'Palestinian' schools (picture from 2008). 

IDF Spokesman Brig.-Gen. Yoav Mordechai blamed Palestinians in Gaza for storing weapons in residential areas of the Strip, saying, "unfortunately, some of the targets are near kindergartens and near mosques."

Saying the IDF is doing its utmost to make precision strikes, he added, "Kindergartens should be a place for learning; mosques should be a place for praying."

Unfortunately, only civilized people think that way. 

Hamas Terrorists Firing Rockets on Israel from Houses in Gaza

The terror group Hamas benefits from using its own people as human shields. When the IDF refrains from firing into densely populated areas, such as neighborhoods or suburbs, the terror organization becomes less vulnerable by default. Most of Hamas' military infrastructure is purposely placed in the middle of Gaza City and scattered throughout crowded refugee camps, further putting civilians in the direct line of fire. In this video, uploaded online by Hamas only two days ago, you can see rockets being fired from urban living areas in the Gaza Strip. These are the same areas Hamas operatives convert to terror sites and weapon caches.
