Including other causes of death... Such as not having hospitals due to being bombed?
That's even worse.

How would you feel if people in designated safe zones carrying a white flag get shot?
Just to make the two things separate I'll make separate comment for this.
Why it matters what you or I care:
We cannot know what other people feel the only tool we know is called empathy.
Having emotions based on facts is not necessarily bias. If what's happening is revolting it is a natural and I'd say positive way of going about things by acting on this feeling by trying to end whatever is causing the feeling.
Look buddyboy you asked how the people in gaza feel, my response was to ask you how you'd feel in their place, describing one of the many atrocities Happening around and to civilians in gaza. If this is your reaction I honestly don't know why you even asked in the first place.
Would you take nytimes as a serious source that cites the Israeli military?.

It's not behind a paywall for me, sorry for that. But I have to ask, if you are aware of these kinds of incidents why did you ask for proof?

The incident I originally thought about, the hostages were not shot in a safe zone as far as I can tell
