Unbridled treachery is the hallmark of Hamas in the current conflict in Gaza, an Israeli government document detailing the strategies of the terror group showed.

Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a report on the war and the findings of the ground troops that are conducting an offensive against the terror group in northern Gaza.

Two Filipinos are believed to be among the 247 hostages in the hands of Hamas, whose freedom is among the objectives of the Israeli push inside Gaza.

The Israel Defense Forces said Hamas uses the civilian population to frustrate IDF operations and exploit the unintended harm to civilians for propaganda purposes.

Civilian structures are used by Hamas "for sniper posts, intelligence gathering, launching anti-tank fire, and hiding in tunnel shafts for the purpose of killing and kidnapping Israeli soldiers," according to the report.

In Gaza, many houses and roads are booby-trapped. Vast tunnels and bunkers lie under entire neighborhoods, and command centers are located under "specially protected sites such as hospitals," the report said.

Hamas made use of the advance notices given by the IDF to civilians "to prepare ambushes and defenses," resulting in Israeli soldiers being killed and wounded.

The report indicated that it is not possible to effectively respond to the humanitarian situation in Gaza "without appreciating that the greatest humanitarian threat to Palestinians in Gaza is that they live under the control of a brutal terrorist regime that has shown no regard for their wellbeing, used its resources for a massive military buildup and attacks, and has systematically taken for itself the aid designated for the civilian population."

Outrage over the humanitarian crisis in the war zone must be directed at Hamas, which appeared to have orchestrated a deteriorated situation in the area of conflict.

The humanitarian situation has significantly worsened "as a result of Hamas's blocking supply lines and border crossings, its exploitation of relief destined for civilian use, and its hoarding of commodities, such as fuel, for military purposes."
