All of this equates to one thing = BAD

Regardless of terrorists groups in Gaza is human life that easy to sacrifice.
I am on no ones side as I am from neither country but looking from the outside we see two different stories from two different countries.

Israel declare that Hamas has been sending missiles and mortar shells into Israeli bordering towns of Hamas, and Hamas claim that they have been vindicated.

The fact that United Arab Emirates have been speaking to Hamas leaders, and Israel have been talking to Britain and other European countries is not a good sign.

I guess the point of the story is who do you choose to believe.
