(12,283 posts)it was a very real almost every day scenario. Here I'll let you think this through for minute with some info you clearly don't know:
setting up and launching kassams from an open field is a losing proposition for hamas and friends, they're easily spotted and killed with little notice by anyone.
step 2 was to launch from farms, hidden by the fruit/avocado trees, until the IDF bulldozed them, leaving them as open fields...(the farmers switched to low growing strawberries after that)
step 3 was from built up areas, where the shadows and walls give reasonable cover. Given that gaza is one of them of the most densest areas in terms of population, clearly once they're in an urban area, there will be civilians around, and that would include children, hence the scenario was not unknown.

I'll even give you a medal for bravery,but i honestly doubt you have it, since it means actually making a decision that involves a hint of reality.
