      If you build your defense in urban environment you are supposed to evacuate the civilians. This is standard for any half competent army.

      To where? Gaza is small enough as is, and the whole strip is being bombed by Israel.

      Also, Hamas isn’t an army; they’re a resistance force. Gaza doesn’t have a proper army, which is why they have to resort to asymmetrical warfare.
