There are both dense and sparsely populated areas of the Strip.
Israel are not carpet-bombing the area, they are performing pinpoint strikes on legitimate military targets.
As a civilian, it is not difficult to avoid those targets.

Alas, it's a strange sort of conflict in which one side deliberately targets civilians, while the other does everything humanly possible to avoid them.
The land was sparsely inhabited when the Israelis formed their own nation. They spent time, money, and effort making it a better place to live. The Palestinians should call it a day and agree to a truce, before Israel gets serious and wipes them out completely.

The idea that Israel is somehow free of 'blood on their hands' because they try to warn people to leave the area for the bombing doesn't make sense. Both sides have plenty of blood on their hands, yet they continue to butt heads using the same tactics over and over again as if something is going to change. Unless they change tactics it's just a war of attrition at this point.
Nothing is perfect. Equipment malfunctions, mistaken intel, and human error can all lead to civilian casualties, despite the best precautions.
Israel are engaged in a legitimate military operation, exclusively targeting legitimate military targets.
If you deliberately put yourself in harm's way, then I'm sorry, but you are partially responsible for the harm that comes to you.
