Goldstone also documented attacks against Israeli civilians by Hamas, and did not restrict himself to a discussion of the notorious rockets indiscriminately fired from Gaza. Goldstone included in his report a detailed discussion of Hamas’s seizure of the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit and its refusal even to allow the International Committee of the Red Cross to see him.
戈德斯通也记录了哈马斯对以色列平民发起的攻击，而且记录内容不仅限于讨论从加沙胡乱发射的臭名昭著的火箭弹。戈德斯通在报告中详细记录了哈马斯扣押以色列士兵吉拉德·沙利特事件，该组织甚至拒绝国际红十字会的探望要求。
