It's so bad that it has long since stopped making sense even if it really was Israel's intention to do that. Why would they keep shooting at the same houses, at the same area? Surely they'd want some more efficiency.
In reality, of course, Israeli forces are constantly being shot at from residential neighborhoods, constantly dealing with hamas-placed mines and IEDs in the middle of residential neighborhoods and houses and it is either return fire or just outright direct hamas fire that kills families ...
How did the Iranians justify it? Oh right: "To protect them from betrayal" (meaning they'd kill entire Iranian families in order to protect them from betraying the Iranian state. Of course, no comment on what evidence Iran had that they were getting betrayed, and especially no comment on why entire families might choose to betray the Iranian state. Makes you wonder if it was just about them making plans to leave)
