Not sure if we are talking about the same thing?

I'm talking about Hamas literally

a) putting missile ramps and ammo depots in busy areas

b) preventing civilians from leaving after Israel has dropped leaflets, called phones in the area and dropped noise bombs

I don't see how the west does anything similar.

Sure, Hamas dials the tactic to eleven. Point is hiding merchant raiders [1] and clandestine activities (e.g. the CIA's fake vaccine campaign to verify Bin Laden [2]) operate on the same principle. And when those go wrong, we properly blame the people using civilians for cover.
