This IMO is the strongest point against Israel's tactics. They are avoiding urban combat by destroying the buildings. For example, instead of engaging in close combat with Hamas in a hunkered down position, they are just knocking the building down with a bomb.

International law isn't equipped to deal with a situation where one side has so extensively wrapped their military structure around their own civilian population. The question becomes, morally, how many of their own people does Israel have to sacrifice if it wants to fight Hamas?
