Hamad is definitely a resistance group aiming the liberation of Palestine but the idea that they could never commit war crimes during resistance operation is ridiculous similar to how war crimes commited by resistance makes them not a resistance group is also ridiculous. The same human rights orgs who reveal israel terrorism also show that some type of unjustifiable retaliation also happened during the operation

They did an excellent job of minimizing violations. 40% military casualties not even counting all the IDF reservists which then joined up to the genocide, and less than 3% child casualties. That is less civilian casualties than any military on earth. And all of it with a rudimentarily trained and underarmed resistance group which is extremely impressive.
