Isn't the whole point of hostages or human shields is that you're supposed to not kill them? I think it's generally seen as bad if you kill civilians when taking out "bad guys".
I do not understand why this became such a huge argument for why the Palestinian casualties are so high.
I have no, just going off what actual Palestinians have said in the past and other articles speaking on the food and water insecurities. There is bit more to it than just that though, even Netanyahu has spoken about putting Palestinians on a diet
