And?
Are hundreds of thousands not dying in Afghanistan and Iraq?
And again, IDF figures point at 295 deaths.
I can only point you to re-read the phrase you were commenting on with a statement like this.
When militants launch attacks from an area, it's a military zone.
Do you somehow pretend that Israelis have no right to self defense as long as their attackers do this from a complex of buildings?
Because that would expose your argument's biggest weakness.
Unarmed civilians were not targeted.
Militants were.
I do not think I need to bring proof to point at the obvious, but yeah why not.

None of the above were targeted.
Mistakes happen all the time, especially during wars on terrorist organizations that hide in civilian areas.
Read on NATO's operations for a better understanding, the understanding that you're obviously lacking when you blame the IDF with the targeting of civilians without being able to explain the dropping of leaflets, the phoning to homes and the 3 hours of humanitarian time.
295 according to IDF figures, and it happens, quite logically, when you are engaging in a war with an organization hiding in a dense civilian populated area.
Then it only seems to you so, as this is purely an act of self-defense and is completely legitimate.
