No, your question was itself a whataboutism (what about Hamas? Have they ever tried to trick IDF that way?).
I simply replied to the underlying assertion that, if they have, then the IDF are somehow the least bit justified in assuming that it was Hamas. Which they wouldn’t be.
One of them shouted “look! Terrorists!” and they just started shooting without ever considering that he might be wrong.
That doesn’t answer my question at all and jumped straight to what aboutism. Real constructive conversation
