A spokesperson for Hamas stormed out of a BBC interview last week when asked about the justification of killing innocent civilians in the attack against Israel.

During the interview, spokesperson and Deputy Foreign Minister for Hamas Ghazi Hamad said that the group’s attack was focused on “military targets.”

Hamad claimed there was no command to kill innocent bystanders.

“It was directed for military purposes,” Hamad said when pressed about Hamas invading neighborhoods.

“And I think from the first moment, we declared that this operation was not directed to the civilians. But I can confirm and assure again and again that there was no command, no command to kill any civilians,” he continued.

As Hamad was continuously pressed by the interviewer, he ended the segment by saying he wanted to “stop this interview,” and stormed off the set.

From Fox News:

After the attack, it was reported that multiple Hamas units were given orders to target elementary schools and youth centers. Documents recovered from the bodies of dead militants revealed an order to "kill as many people as possible," in addition to seizing hostages.
