Of cource Israel forced them to. "Force" means to use violence to let someone do certain things, i.e. if they don't do those certain things, they get violence. And looking at the records of the past decades, whatever Hamas (among everyone else in Gaza) did or didn't, Israel did violence to them. So whatever Hamas do, it's forced by Israel, since if they don't, Israel does violence to them.

On the other hand, no one is forcing Israel to bomb civilians right now. No one will do violence to them if they stop bombing.

Your one-sided definition of "force" is patently ridiculous on its face.

"Everything Hamas does is forced by Israel's actions, nothing Israel does is forced by Hamas"
