I don't know why you keep repeated the same phrase over and over. It's pretty clear what Israel is doing. They are bombing Hamas in Gaza, and have acknowledged that non-combatants will get hit in the cross-fire.
There's absolutely no reason for them to randomly target civilians here and there. From a practical point of view, that's a huge waste of resources. From a tactical point of view, the bombings on the Hamas infrastructure are going to be terrifying in themselves, so there's no extra psychological goal from hitting civilians, as a primary target, randomly.
There's plenty of room to argue about what other precautions Israel should be taking that would likely better suit your point.

You think anyone is actually going to come out and say yes we will target civilians? If this is what is what is being said in public, what do you think is being said in private? When you have confirmed that you think everyone is responsible, you will intentionally kill civilians. What do you think the cutting off of food and water is about? They absolutely want to see civilians suffer.
