In the allegation that it is indiscriminate. The Israelis are known to communicate their impending targets to allow the occupants time to leave (this according to the son of Hamas' founder). They will provide a "tap" round landing on a building as notice that it is shortly to be shelled. They seek only to target known military forces, presence, or facilities---which are fully legal targets under the conventions of war, presence of civilians notwithstanding.
The conventions of war forbid the use of human shields, which is the chief tactic of not only Hamas, but also Ukraine. Hamas interposes roadblocks to prevent Gazans from evacuating areas announced to be attacked. It is also relevant that Hamas began this war with atrocities against men, women, and children. Israel is only fighting in response.
So, yeah. It is "indiscriminate" if you want cover for anti-Semitism.
We had no problem leveling entire German cities in World War II and no one ever considered it a war crime. And it wasn't. It was the nature of war. When legitimate targets are mingled into the population, and the population suffers, it is on the responsibility of the government there to have avoided it. Especially when the aggressor sets the tone by first attacking population centers per se (as the Germans did in World War II, provoking the Battle of Britain). Hamas began a program of attack against peaceful civilians, so it is on their head that they will suffer in kind.

how can one know?
Leveling down residential buildings looks indiscriminate I agree with human shields point and hamas being malevolent with its own people
We know because people report that they do.
