^ That’s a really solid, well-sourced video. It should have more views.

A rhetorical question was asked in the video why would Hamas use human shields, knowing the Israelis were going to kill them anyway? In other words, why use a deterrent that does not deter?
A possible answer is videos like this. It was reported that Sinwar, before he was assassinated, said the quiet part out loud.
Hamas leader said civilian death toll could benefit militant group in Gaza war, WSJ reports
Quote:
The military leader of Hamas has said he believes he has gained the upper hand over Israel and that the spiralling civilian death toll in Gaza would work in the militant group’s favor, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal, citing leaked messages the newspaper said it had seen.

“We have the Israelis right where we want them,” Yahya Sinwar told other Hamas leaders recently, according to one of the messages, the WSJ reported Monday. In another, Sinwar is said to have described civilian deaths as “necessary sacrifices” while citing past independence-related conflicts in countries like Algeria.

As much as I hate both sides-ing on this conflict, it seems fair to recognize Hamas (and other actors on behalf of Palestine) often have a pretty cynical view towards civilians, whether one accepts the premise that they're being used as human shields of not.

Even if he isn't wrong, and even if it's an observation that he makes with a heavy heart, it doesn't mean he's got any problem with benefiting from that situation.

Then again, Churchill probably didn't complain too much about the effect the Blitz had on recruitment either, and they hadn't even been overran yet.
