Nobody ever accussed Hammas of being stupid, they might be a death cult but they're not dumb.
They want a massive body count that they can parade out and show off videos of. I still remember in the last war that Hammas recovered the same dead person from three different sites.
They're extremely media saavy for a terrorist group.
I would like to see more facts before I decide, but this whole thing smells like a setup if it was only one boat that violently resisted.
