I disagree. Israel is not targeting civilians

Well that's just objectively wrong.

Exclusive: Nearly half of the Israeli munitions dropped on Gaza are imprecise ‘dumb bombs,’ US intelligence assessment finds

Israel dropped more bombs to Gaza in a week than the US did in Afghanistan... in a year.

Israel drops 6,000 bombs in Gaza in 6 days, nearly matching US total in Afghanistan in 1 year: Report

But you'll criticise the sources so let's go with the UN (although IDF trolls will still complain that UN is somehow controlled by Hamas or smth equally silly)

Gaza: UN experts call on international community to prevent genocide against the Palestinian people

GENEVA (16 November 2023) – Grave violations committed by Israel against Palestinians in the aftermath of 7 October, particularly in Gaza, point to a genocide in the making, UN experts said today. They illustrated evidence of increasing genocidal incitement, overt intent to “destroy the Palestinian people under occupation”, loud calls for a ‘second Nakba’ in Gaza and the rest of the occupied Palestinian territory, and the use of powerful weaponry with inherently indiscriminate impacts, resulting in a colossal death toll and destruction of life-sustaining infrastructure.

Israel's military response has killed more than 29,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which doesn't distinguish between civilians and combatants but says the majority are women and children

At least 95 civilians – nearly half of them children – killed in four unlawful strikes in Rafah

Attacks took place in southern governorate supposed to be “safe”

All four strikes are likely direct attacks on civilians and civilian objects and must be investigated as war crimes
