Hamas claims that it only shot rockets at military sites

Hamas claims that it shot 120 rockets in the last three days... but only at 'military sites.'

Ezzedeen Al Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, fired dozens of mortars and rockets at the Israeli military sites around Gaza Strip in response to the Israeli violations against Gaza people in the past three days.

The Brigades said in a recent statement that its operatives in Gaza have fired 120 rockets and mortar shells at Israeli military sites around Gaza.

Actually, there was only one toddler killed and the 'Palestinians' have admitted that was a result of a rocket misfiring.

They go on to list the targets at which they shot. Aaron Lerner points out:

Kfar Aza is a kibbutz
Nahal Oz is a kibbutz
Re'im is a kibbutz
Zikim is a kibbutz
etc.

Question: why does Hamas feel compelled to claim that it is shooting at "Israeli military sites" and then gives a list of places it is aiming at that include kibbutzim?

Probably because to Hamas, all Israelis are soldiers. It just makes choosing targets so much easier.
