Matthew Waxman, an expert on the laws of war from Columbia Law School, said in an interview (link below) that Hamas clearly is using the population of Gaza as human shields, and that is a war crime. It is also a war crime to deliberately target civilians. But it is not a war crime to kill civilians who are co-located with military forces. That is the fault of the force who co-locates with civilians.
We can debate all day long about the long, complicated history and broader context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and there is a lot of fault on both sides, but in this post-Oct 7 phase of the conflict, Hamas is mostly to blame for the civilian casualties.

Who literally served in the Bush Admin for the Iraq. Maybe this guy is just blowing smoke up your ass to kill more Muslims.
By co-located you mean, anywhere in Gaza. This is also taking what Israel is saying at face value that they always know where all the Hamas militants are and they're deliberately pin pointing them whenever they drop a dumb bomb on an civilian structure. And somehow Hamas is in literally every apartment block. 10/7 proved that the IDF doesn't know shit about what goes on in Gaza. The fact that after all this destruction, Hamas is no where near defeated. Best estimates is that it's capacity has been degraded by only 20%. Israel is lying to you. They want to purge all of the Palestinians from the strip into the Sinai.
