You really need to just calm down and read a bit more. Israel isn't just cowardly attacking civilians, it just doesn't give a ##### about collateral while Hamas wants more collateral damage. In between are any remaining peaceful Palestinian civilians who are stuck between Hamas killing them for not wanting to be martyred and the IDF killing them for trying to live their lives close to a Hamas "military" installation aka school/hospital/government building.
There are actually videos of about 20 odd Palestinians being killed and then dragged for through the streets on motor bikes for disagreeing with what Hamas is doing in the area. I will not post these as they are NSFL (much worse than the ISIS ditch execution videos from the other middle eastern craziness thread).
To answer your questions about the telling Gazans to stay put, this was widely reported in BBC and Reuters and others days ago on TV when I saw it. Including quotes from US intelligence, Bill Clinton and a couple of other EU heads IIRC along with Israeli sources.

The number of civilians who have died in Gaza is a great tragedy — many of those deaths could likely have been avoided if Hamas leaders had not urged Gazans to ignore IDF warnings to leave a combat zone. As former US President Bill Clinton told India’s NDTV last week, “(Hamas has) a strategy designed to force Israel to kill their own (Palestinian) civilians so that the rest of the world will condemn them.”
