People who've studied and understand war often argue that the best way to end a war, and thereby minimize human suffering, is to use the maximum force possible. In this case, bombing locations below which Hamas has setup command posts, even if they are refugee camps, in order to win and end the war, is going to reduce the overall levels of human suffering this war creates.
Is the bombing of a refugee camp a tragedy? Absolutely. Is it legal and justified, yes, it is, given Hamas started this war and is attempting to use human shields to protect its commanders.
