They have gained [Paradise]... Don't be disturbed by these images... He who is Martyred doesn't feel... His soul has ascended to Allah." [Al-Aqsa TV (Hamas), July 20, 2014] by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik Hamas is trying to both justify and console Gaza's population over the many civilian deaths it has caused in the Gaza war. While broadcasting gruesome pictures of dead civilians, including children, a TV host explained that since in Islam a person's time of death is predetermined by Allah, the people who have been killed in the recent fighting have actually "gained": They would have died now anyway, but now they will receive the rewards of Martyrdom - Shahada - in Paradise.
