To weaken France's image, to sow chaos, to get security forces focused on other things while they try to get specific targets.
There have been reports about both Russia and Iran being potentially involved.
So far I've seen an article about a Russian getting arrested 2 days ago.
It's in the Wikipedia link.
But here you go: https://www.hrw.org/news/2007/06/12/gaza-armed-palestinian-groups-commit-grave-crimes
On Sunday, Hamas military forces captured 28-year-old Muhammad Swairki, a cook for President Mahmoud Abbas’s presidential guard, and executed him by throwing him to his death, with his hands and legs tied, from a 15-story apartment building in Gaza City.

Two men were killed in revenge slaying, including a Fatah gunman thrown from a roof, in what Hamas described as a family grievance.
The funding of Hamas by Qatar was after their takeover of Gaza.
This part is unrelated to Israel.
The tensions begun the moment Hamas came into power.
When Hamas took over Gaza in 2007, they threw Fatah officials off buildings and shot into crowds of their supporters.

IDF draft laws only apply to Jews, and male Druze and Circassians.

Bedouins, etc. serve voluntarily.
And from the Wikipedia page, it seems like it's not all, but a majority that refer to themselves in that way.
Lying about what?
The subject of this thread is about a strike on an army compound. That's not a war crime.
About Rafa?
Sure: Yahoo, Reuters, Asharq Al-Awsat
Quote from Reuters:
The Israeli military said the strike against Deif also targeted Rafa Salama, the commander of Hamas' Khan Younis Brigade, describing them as two of the masterminds of the Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel that triggered the nine-month war in Gaza
About the pictures, this article shows them.
Reuters also mentioned them, but it's written they haven't verified them yet.
I should've clarified. They aren't currently using uniforms. As in, in the fighting since the 7th of October. They justify it themselves in interviews and you can see it in videos of theirs.
And that isn't the IDF, it's the Israeli police's counter-terrorism unit.
That's crazy because I've heard Israelis assert the exact opposite.
Yes, religious extremists exist also in Israel.
There's a certain dramatic irony in funding UNRWA, paying Israel to bomb UNRWA, and then claiming you're the only folks providing aid to Palestinians.
I'm not the one who wrote USA is the only one providing aid.
What you quoted is the reality. The bulk of the funding over the years has been from the USA and the EU.
From what I've seen, French newspapers have only mentioned the Russian for now.
