To convince me that they are Hamas, and thus combatants and not civilians, needs more credible evidence, though.

So what? Hamas forfeited their position to complain about differing combatants and civilians when they chose to engage as irregular combatants. To that end, everyone who stays in combat areas when told to evacuate should be considered a combatant. But the nature of irregular combatants and warfare is probably just something we should agree to disagree on here.

In short, my problem isn't with what's being reported, but who is doing it.

I absolutely agree that a huge amount of reporting is less than honest. But my main question is then, who do you consider a viable source, if anyone, or what's your strategy for getting information you can trust, if you don't consider any sources to be up to snuff?
