In routine times, Hamas operates summer camps where children learn to shoot weapons, storm through tunnels, fight against tanks and even kidnap soldiers.

Even during the war, the Hamas terrorist organization uses minors for various tasks, for example sending children to deliver both messages and ammunition.
