- She realized Hamas brought fear and destruction, not hope, to Gaza's residents.
- A turning point occurred in 2014 when the IDF warned her husband to evacuate civilians before an attack.

- The accounts contrast the IDF's moral conduct with Hamas's exploitation of civilians.
Juman al-Qawasmi, daughter of one of Hamas's founding members, Mohammed al-Qawasmi, has spoken out about her upbringing within the organization. She described a childhood filled with deep hatred towards Israel and Jews, and a gradual realization that Hamas promoted fear and destruction rather than hope or equality for the people of Gaza.
Al-Qawasmi's perspective dramatically shifted during Israel's 2014 Operation Protective Edge. While Gaza experienced bombings, she was astonished to learn that the IDF had contacted her husband directly, urging him to warn neighbors and evacuate their building before an imminent strike on a nearby terrorist's home.
This act of the IDF prioritizing civilian lives deeply impacted her worldview regarding Israel. She recounted praying tearfully for the truth to be revealed after this experience.
Al-Qawasmi's testimony joins that of others, such as Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of a Hamas leader in the West Bank, often referred to as "The Green Prince." These accounts suggest that even children of Hamas leadership eventually recognize the organization's foundation of hatred and evil. The revelations also highlight the IDF's adherence to moral conduct by warning civilians before attacks, contrasting with terrorist groups that exploit their own people and spread destruction.
