I'm not part of Hamas so I don't know what they have to do with anything. Also Israel has compulsory military service for nearly all citizens, which means that essentially if you're of age and an Israeli, you're not a civilian. The government made it a point to make all of their able bodied adults combatants.

Israel and it's citizens deserve to reap everything they have sown. Their children are innocent... At least until they are forced to join the idf. It's a shame Israel doesn't care about the future it's making for it's children.

Really? You don't see the connection to Hamas? You're just mindlessly repeating their slogans like "kill all israelis," and you don't know why I would bring them up when I point out that your comment gives the lie to anyone saying "they don't really mean 'kill all israelis'"?

Also Israel has compulsory military service for nearly all citizens, which means that essentially if you're of age and an Israeli, you're not a civilian.

That's false. They have compulsory public service, which can be in civilian positions, and they have placement tests to determine who goes where. Some of the highest scoring people become teachers.

And lots of Israeli civilians hate their government and have been protesting the war. Framing them all as IDF is ignorant.
