I don't think Hamas allows any sort of system to keep the civilians they 'defend' alive, since they want civilian deaths - on BOTH sides.

Do you dispute this paragraph? In your opinion is Hamas' goal to defend innocent Palestinian people?
I think if Hamas had $3 billion in US military support, they would be able to defend Palestinian civilians. Since they don't, they need to use crude weapons that they fire in Israel's general direction and hope they hit an Israeli civilian or military officer. They try to draw IDF ground troops into the war and hopefully kill a few. What does Israel expect? A rag tag paramilitary organization that has clearly marked bunkers and military installments in order for them to be easy targets for airstrikes?
