Israel has not acted without regard for the conventions of war.
Israel has never targeted civilians, but Hezbullah did just that.
There have been some accidents where civilians who were told to leave but either refused or were not allowed by the enemy to stay away from terrorist installations, and of whose presence in particular locations Israel was unaware, were sadly killed.
As in any war, Israel had to destroy infrastructure to prevent enemy reinforcements.
Hence this article serves no genuine purpose other than being a part of a smear campaign under the assumption that if lies are repeated long enough they will somehow become true.
