Where should GAZA citizens go?

Since Hamas is the Gaza governing body, and (as it sets the targets) is it not reasonable to speculate it has within its power to create safe zones, areas where they will not shoot rockets from, is the onus not with Hamas (not Israel) to protect its citizens?

The targets seem to be the buildings from where rockets are fired at Israel by Hamas. Is it not reasonable to speculate that it is likely that the resident of the militarized home, and even neighbours,would know this, and see the building as a potental target, espevially after a rocket is fired from the location.

I make the above suggestion based an asdumption that Hamas is not intentionally putting its citizens at risk to score political points. It would be rare to have a governing body that would have such a lack of compassionate concerns for its innocent citizens welfare, and would intentionally use them as military fodder.
