Hamas is being faced with ramifications of "flaunting" homemade rockets at a rally in Gaza. The mishandling of the rockets has killed and wounded their own. The militant group who survives on the continued recruitment of impressionable Palestinian youth, has killed their own future members.
The most descriptive portion of the article is below. It shows the reader how counter productive the Hamas movement appears to be. Hamas really does not want peace. They only want to push Israel out of the Middle East and kill Jewish people.

The rally was held in the Jebaliya refugee camp, one of the last military-style parades before a ban on flaunting weapons in public — agreed to by all militant groups — takes effect Saturday evening.
Witnesses said participants, including children, crowded around the pickup truck just before the explosion. The witnesses said the truck carried two homemade rockets.
One man, who only gave his first name, Hussam, said he helped pull three men out of the pickup, two of them dead and one still alive. The side of the pickup was charred.
The witness said he saw five dead children nearby. Dozens more were wounded. The Hamas military wing, Izzedine al Qassam, is popular with youngsters and when the pickup with the gunmen arrived at the rally, many crowded around the vehicle.
