Indeed. Consider this video, for example: https://twitter.com/Natsecjeff/status/1397186381756125184

This is certainly Hamas-created propaganda. I could see it inciting someone to join the cause. Yet it reveals that Hamas proudly digs up water pipes donated as humanitarian aid, to turn them into weapons of war. Is society better off if the government prevents this video from being shared?

Wow, that is wild. I’m going to intentionally not address the extremely disturbing pretense of all of this, but that shows some wild innovation. Literally making war machines from scraps and salvage.

Whatever their motives, I don’t see this ending well for them. It seems as though Israel has decided this is the end of Gaza, and I believe they are sufficiently infuriated, motivated, and emboldened to accomplish their goals.
