Why Does Hamas Kill Civilians?

I heard an interesting extensive piece on NPR.
It was about the history of Hamas.
One thing stood out...
Hamas had targeted military until an American-Israeli
Jew massacred 29 adults & children (injuring 125) at
a Hebron mosque. During protests, Israel killed many
more people.
That was when Hamas began to target civilians.

This doesn't justify anything that anyone does.
It's likely not the only reason Hamas kills civilians.
But it's useful to understand why people feel the
way they do. That can be useful to craft solutions
to conflicts.

Wrong,Hamas have always targeted civilians,that’s what terrorists do,before your link Mehola junction suicide bombing with Islamic Jihad,grooming children to carry out suicide attacks because terrorists aren’t iron cross material they’re terrorists,the wars and infitadas that failed against Israel,they just aren’t up to the job.

From the PLO hijacking planes to Islamic jihad and the Hamas Al Qaasam brigades they all want to be martyrs dying in their one sided battle against civilians, because that’s what terrorists do,civilians don’t fight back.

That's why Israel persecutes, imprisons without charges,
kills, maims, & steals from Palestinian civilians, eh.

Illegal settlements are wrong,have no problem with saying that but do you really think the Palestinians in the hostage swap are “innocent civilians”,I doubt it personally.

Some might be.
Many are held without charges or a trial.
BTW, what percentage of the 14,000 Palestinians
killed in Gaza do you think were innocent?

you have learned a bunch of hate but have no idea:

""In January 2004, Hamas leader Yassin said that the group would end armed resistance against Israel in exchange for a Palestinian state in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, and that restoring Palestinians' "historical rights" (relating to the 1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight) "would be left for future generations."[43] On January 25, 2004, senior Hamas official Abdel Aziz al-Rantissi offered a 10-year truce, or hudna, in return for the establishment of a Palestinian state and the complete withdrawal by Israel from the territories captured in the 1967 Six-Day War.[43] Al-Rantissi stated that Hamas had come to the conclusion that it was "difficult to liberate all our land at this stage, so we accept a phased liberation."[43][44] Israel immediately dismissed al-Rantissi's statements as insincere and a smokescreen for military preparations.[44] Yassin was killed in a targeted killing on March 22, 2004, by an Israeli air strike,[45] and al-Rantisi was killed by a similar air strike on April 18, 2004."""

Most were women and children.

Just like GAZA are majority women and children under 18 yrs old.

Actually, I looked into that, and it's really sad. Most released are under 18 (some arrestees are as young as 9) and are held with no charges, but under indefinite "detention". They will, if they ever come to trial, be tried before a military (not civilian) court, most for charges like "stone throwing" (20 years) or trumped up "supporting terrorism" charges which could be anything, like posting about Israel killing civilians in Gaza on social media or having an emoji of a Palestinian flag on their social media page.

Now that is closer to what Is REAL.

Them people have been oppressed for decades and now the majority know nothing else but an unabated hatred for israel.

The war now occurring is just creating more HAMAS not eliminating it.

The military court is quite efficient.
Their conviction rate is (per NPR) is over 95%.
Apparently, Israel only arrests guilty Muslims.
