There is no need for name calling. .
Gaza is one of the most densely populated open air prisons on the planet.
So the Hamas freedom fighters have very little area to operate from.

Precautions against the effects of attacks
Article 58 [ Link ] -- Precautions against the effects of attacks
The Parties to the conflict shall, to the maximum extent feasible:
(a) without prejudice to Article 49 [ Link ] of the Fourth Convention, endeavour to remove the civilian population, individual civilians and civilian objects under their control from the vicinity of military objectives;
(b) avoid locating military objectives within or near densely populated areas;
(c) take the other necessary precautions to protect the civilian population, individual civilians and civilian objects under their control against the dangers resulting from military operations.
Unfortunately, hamas doesn't live by the same rules.
Civilian deaths appear to be a sign of victory to Hamas.
