Hamas’s determination to assert its authority can be gauged by the desecrated corpses of Fatah fighters, many of them with bullets fired at their heads, a practice dubbed “confirmation of death.” The rocket attacks against Israeli territory are a transparent attempt to divert attention and rally the masses around Hamas as the true champions of the Palestinian cause.
哈马斯树立其权威的决心可以通过惨死的法塔赫战士的尸体来衡量。他们许多人都是头部中枪毙命。这种做法被称为“确保死亡”。对以色列领土的火箭袭击明显是意在转移注意力并使哈马斯能以巴勒斯坦事业的真正英雄的形象获得民众支持。
