Let's try do be objective about an emotive and tragic issue Steve.

The figures show that Hamas is lying about how many civilian casualties there are.
It is what you would see if soldiers were fighting from civilian areas.

That is the war crime of using human shields.
Civilian casualties are inevitable as the result of that war crime, and committing that war crime does not make it illegal to strike back at them.
