More importantly, I hope Hamas as a whole takes away some lessons. I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;re listening to our president&#8217;s pleas for a diplomatic solution, one of things that Hamas is famous for embracing. Of course, immediately, Hamas harped on the 11 civilian casualties that the missile attack supposedly produced. I&#8217;m pretty sure that their idea of &#8220;civilian casualties&#8221; is different from what the rest of the world thinks are civilian casualties. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Israeli missiles also hit two media centers in Gaza, wounding six Palestinian journalists Sunday and damaging the equipment of several foreign media outlets from Europe. The buildings were targeted because they housed the offices of Hamas\u2019 Al Aqsa TV station and the pro-Islamist Al Quds TV of Lebanon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That probably won&#8217;t help Israel&#8217;s image, but, meh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Israeli Defense Forces gave Hamas&#8217; leader of their missile forces, Yehia Bia, a close-up look &hellip; <a title=\"Israel gives Hamas&#8217; missile guy unprecedented opportunity\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=32922\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Israel gives Hamas&#8217; missile guy unprecedented opportunity<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32922"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32922\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32922"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32922"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
