The attacks, widely expected as a retaliation to a missile barrage launched by Iran on 1 October, were described by a senior US official as ‘extensive’ and ‘precise’

Hard to not hit civilians when Hamas hides between them, no? Or labels fighters as civilian after the fact, you know, because they have zero identification and run around like civilians. Because they do not care about civilians, getting them killed only helps them paint Israel as bad.
Israel used that claim for decades and to this day haven’t manged to provide even a single piece of evidence. Using civilians as human shields is Israel’s tactic.
The Israeli military has used Palestinians as human shields in Gaza, soldier and former detainees say
What do you mean no evidence? Do you have seen any video where Hamas is wearing uniforms to identify as combatants? Or is it random civilian clothing? There are more than enough videos of them and others showing them in civilian clothes. So once one of them dies, who is going to identify them as civilian and who as combatants? So you see the problem?
Also, given the videos of them shooting out of hospitals, hiding hostages with families, … how are they not using human shields? What evidence do you want if that is not sufficient?
