Obviously this is an oversimplified cartoon, but let me preemptively handle some points.

Hamas fires rockets out of population hubs like schools, apartments, and hospitals.

Hamas also often keeps families inside the launch sights under the idea that to die and make Israel look bad is honorable.

Israel airdrops leaflets near the discovered launch sights warning everyone to evacuate before they take out the building. They also send a dud shell on top of the building about a minute before the rest of the shells so that people know which building and have time to get out.

Because so many Palestinians are determined to die to stain Israel, they stay in the buildings anyway.

This is what gets the media attention.
