This is true in general, but this time they're literally in Israel's crosshairs. These people are dying to sniper fire.

There's nothing in the article about that. Only interesting thing there

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that his country offered fuel to Gaza’s Al-Shifa hospital Saturday night, but it was “refused.”

Look up "sniper" in the article.

Ya, fair request. Not that the end result would be any worse than bombing, etc. But that would be the first report of sniper fire on civilians, afaik.
