15. There is a report by CNN that interviews captured Hamas terrorists

where they say this was the goal of the terror attack.

All of the other attacks were simply "targets of opportunity". The concert and the location was scouted by Hamas before the attack. They noted that there was a big open field to the east of the venue and limited roads that ran north to south from the venue. Hence the groups of paragliders that took the road both to the north and to the south to prevent people escaping except by foot across the very large open field to the east... and they had inserted a few terrorists near the field to pick off the people running across the field.

It was all planned.

And the goal was to enrage Israel by killing the unarmed young adults and cause Israel to bomb the hell out of Gaza.

When Israel issued a warning about north Gaza, Hamas actually prevented civilians from fleeing the area.. to increase the body count of dead Palestinians.
