Hamas is a guerrilla force. It hides within civilian populations. It operates in civilian clothes. It hides its fighters, materiel, and military structures inside apartments, schools, mosques, and hospitals. This is extensively documented. They use the civilian population as a human shield knowing that any strike against them will inevitably result in civilian casualties that can be trotted out on media broadcasts to drum up sympathy.
The civilian population knows this is going on and approves of it. Let's be 100% clear about that. If they did not approve of it, they would avoid the areas where Hamas sets up, or rat them out to the IDF. These people understand that their presence helps Hamas and their deaths would be "martyrdom."
Israel is very well acquainted with these tactics and gives warnings shortly before they attack to allow civilians to flee. This may include dropping leaflets to let them know an airstrike is coming or "roof knock" strikes of loud flashbang explosives that don't destroy the building, but make a loud enough noise to send anyone with a brain fleeing for bomb shelters. Then they level the building with the real strike.
One side clearly makes efforts to avoid unnecessary death. The other side clearly and intentionally uses tactics intended to maximize civilian death tolls. The moral situation here is clear.
Regarding point #2, its not like the civilian population can tell the terrorist to leave as they'll just murder their family so i highly doubt they 'approve it'
I take it you're not familiar with the situation.

aitstriking residential buildings is the morally superior position. Unless it happens to Israel, in which case it's a tragedy.
you really believe they send leaflets in before every airstrike? That's a little naive
Which side had Epstein, Weinstein, Maxwell? Which side drinks blood from baby penises?
just watched a video of IDF soldiers murdering POWs.
I guess that's different too, right?
Inb4 there's no law about murdering POWs or targeting civilian structures
