GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Two weeks after the end of the Gaza war, there is growing evidence that Hamas militants used residential areas as cover for launching rockets at Israel, at least at times. Even Hamas now admits "mistakes" were made.
But Hamas says it had little choice in Gaza's crowded urban landscape, took safeguards to keep people away from the fighting, and that a heavy-handed Israeli response is to blame for the deaths of hundreds of Palestinian civilians.
"Gaza, from Beit Hanoun in the north to Rafah in the south, is one uninterrupted urban chain that Israel has turned into a war zone," said Ghazi Hamad, a senior Hamas official in Gaza.

So, is Hamas lying?

It depends on the definition of the word "urban area"
Maybe they were wrong, and what people thought was an urban area, wasn't. People make a common mistake with the word recession.
Of course this is nonsense - there was no reason for the qualifier. If they needed a qualifier, it would have made more sense to say "what appeared to be rocket launches."
On second thought, maybe the way the AP did it was better.
