Intentionally launching an attack in the knowledge that such attack will cause incidental loss of life or injury to civilians or damage to civilian objects or widespread, long-term and severe damage to the natural environment which would be clearly excessive in relation to the concrete and direct overall military advantage anticipated;

This is a war crime whether or not it was a "military target."

Intentionally using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare by depriving them of objects indispensable to their survival, including wilfully impeding relief supplies as provided for under the Geneva Conventions;

Doesn't matter if it's a military target here either. The lack of supplies killed people.

If I'm missing something here please explain. I am not attacking you or saying Hamas doesn't commit war crimes or anything of the sort. I am simply confused as to why people say this when it doesn't seem (to me) to be the case.
