The palestinians could, if they desired, rise up and overthrow Hamas. They do not desire to do so.
The palestinians could, if they desired, turn over all Hamas fighters and Israeli hostages.
That they do not do so means they are not civilians anymore, and thus they are not civilian casualties.

Israel’s top general has said the country will respond to Iran’s missile and drone attack, but it remains unclear what form that response will take and whether it will be so forceful that it could tip a worsening spiral of violence into a full-scale regional war.
My question is what is meant by a full-scale regional war? Does anyone reading this know or want to guess?
I'm confused because I thought a full-scale regional war was already occurring.

Iran’s president has warned that the “tiniest invasion” by Israel would bring a “massive and harsh” response, as the region braces for potential Israeli retaliation after Iran’s attack over the weekend.
[snip]
Iran launched hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel over the weekend in response to an apparent Israeli strike on Iran’s embassy compound in Syria on April 1 that killed 12 people, including two Iranian generals.
I truly do think we are on the brink of another world war. I just hope that I am wrong about that.
MODS: I was not sure which thread to post on, as this thread is titled the Israel/Hamas War, but as Iran now seems to be a major part of this conflict/war/mess, should anything now referring to Israel be in this thread of not? Thanks -- and please move my posts to the appropriate thread.
While I am sure that there are some cases (sadly) where Palestinians have been abused by the IDF, it is still a fact that laws in Israel make it clear that this behavior is illegal.
If an Israli wanders into the wrong city, they will be murdered. So how both countries are savage?!
There are cases , yes. Which is frustrating to see. And IDF does crack down on them when found. Whether they do it enough or not is debatable.
But these kinds of incidents do Not rise to the actions of constant rocket barrages from Hamas and Hezbollah and certainly not to the massacre of Oct 7th, imho.

No, they happen because there was an intifada that had been forming for months (or years) before that incident, which means NBC was engaged in antisemitic propaganda, when they posted that article in Aug.
JERICHO, West Bank, March 14 (Reuters) - Before a group of young men from Aqabat Jabr refugee camp mounted a botched attack on a restaurant in Jericho popular with Israeli settlers in January, they declared allegiance to Hamas.
...
Their story illustrates the complex mix of spontaneous action and association between established factions and new groups during an upsurge in violence in the occupied West Bank that has fuelled fears of a new Palestinian intifada to follow the uprisings of the 1980s and early 2000s.
...
"All the signs are that the intifada is coming," said the Hamas cadre, who declined to be named for fear of Israeli reprisals. "There is a new generation of people who believe the only solution is armed struggle."

I just assume there is Always an intifada going on over there by 'someone'.
West Bank just seems like the Wild West to me, and I am sure it is a headache for the IDF, both from the Palestinians there and Israeli settlers.
