Hamas warns Gazans not to go home yet - because it won't look good when they get blown up by Hamas booby-traps

Hamas issued a series of instructions to Gazans Tuesday ahead of the anticipated cease-fire.

Two of them are:

*Beware of bombed and demolished homes:* We call upon citizens to stay away from destroyed or bombed buildings, as there may be sudden collapses or falling pieces and rubble from bombed and destroyed buildings, which pose a direct threat to their lives.

*Beware of unexploded weapons:* We call upon our honorable Palestinian people to beware of the remains of bombs, missiles and unexploded ordnance, which pose a grave danger to your lives. You should not approach or touch them, and immediately report them to the competent authorities to avoid accidents that may harm you or your loved ones.

We know that Hamas set up booby-traps in virtually every house in areas of combat. As the Jerusalem Post reported two weeks ago:

As its fighters attempt to flee northern Gaza and those that are remaining struggle to maneuver in the area, Hamas has pivoted it combat strategy to booby-trapping almost every structure that remains standing.

This is typically done by hiding explosives inside closets or other furniture to harm troops conducting searches. Additionally, the buildings are stocked with weapons, including rifles, anti-tank launchers, and grenades.

The IDF discovered a Hamas video documenting the placement of explosives in a house.

Hamas themselves published a number of videos of houses that they proudly booby-trapped and they claim to have exploded them with IDF troops inside, and many soldiers did fall from booby traps.

Everyone admits that Hamas secretly wired up thousands of Gaza homes with explosives. (It's a war crime, of course, but human rights groups and the UN are quite uninterested in that.) What happens when the owners return to rebuild or retrieve their stuff? It will be very embarrassing for Hamas for the world to see their own explosives killing Gazans. Their booby traps can also kill aid workers who want to help.

We will soon be seeing more evidence of Hamas killing its own people. Hamas didn't care about them until the shooting stops - and once that happens, it makes it harder for Hamas to blame all those deaths on Israel.

No doubt Hamas will claim that they are killed by leftover ordnance from the IDF. Much of the world will believe the lie.
