bruh...
Those are war crimes according to the UN

You can't just put a single civilian in every military base and be protected by international law. Collateral damage isn't necessarily a war crime.
I agree, collateral damage is not a war crime... Until it is paired with a not-hidden intent to punish the population
Agreed, not saying what Hamas is doing is any good, they're also doing war crimes.
An Hospital, Red Cross camp, and other zones are not military bases.
