Yes. Literary, yes. Hunting down and killing random civilians was their stated goal.

They might say that they took the hostages for negotiations, but it's much more likely they took them as human shields. Just how they always used innocent palestinians.

It's funny how you can unironcally say that you are pro hamas. You might as well be pro ISIS or pro Taliban.

Pro Taliban yes, pro ISIS no. They are different things.
Where did Hamas state their goal is hunting down civilians? Do you follow their Telegram Channel, or that of the spokeperson Abu_'ubaidah or Al-Jazeerah? I mean you can say this is their real goal that you deducted from watching media, but not the stated. Hamas are not even using hate speech against Jews or Israeli group anymore, they declare their enemy as Zionism.
Besides you say Hamas are using human shields, Hamas actually have a network underground, so they are always away from Israeli bombing and they state that. It is literally a hobby for Netenyaho to bomb Palestinian Civilians to pressure them so they turn back against Hamas, exactly how Terrorist movements work.

Captured documents of hamas fighters clearly state that their targets were mainly civilian.
