In Lebanon, it is common knowledge that Hizbullah operates in this way.
In you ask Hizbullah, they will justify it based on utility. They fire from in and around houses and built-up areas, usually the same areas in which the rockets and launching equipment are hidden for easy access. Would you expect them to drive a Jeep out to the middle of a field first and become open targets for air strikes? As for uniforms, Hizbullah's formal militia are sometimes seen in uniform but they do not have very many and do not use them in guerrilla warfare as a general rule. Militaries generally fight in ways that play to their strengths.
I agree that their conduct is reprehensible for what it knowingly brings upon innocent Lebanese.
