Another thing journalists aren't reporting:
Hamas and Islamic Jihad are hiding how many of their members have been killed.
No "martyr" announcements. Few funerals.
This is deliberate - to make it look like Israel is indiscriminately dropping bombs and killing only civilians.

If they would announce the names of their dead, it would be easy to see that many of the civilians killed were effectively meant to be human shields for them. In 2014, Hamas commanders were invariably among large families who were killed - but it took months to find that out.
In 2014, sometimes it would be found that one member of the family was a major terror leader.
More chillingly, sometimes it was found that one of the people killed with a family was a terrorist - NOT related to the family.
The family were hostages.

We cannot know the circumstances of every incident yet - whether families were killed by errant terror rockets or IDF bombs - but we DO know that the IDF warns civilians before it attacks a site where the target is terror infrastructure.
So if there was no warning, either the target was a major terrorist or it was a mistake.
Based on what I know of the layers of approvals needed before the IDF drops bombs in populated areas, mistakes are rare.
