Individual combatants are rarely noteworthy enough to receive news attention. You do hear news articles when some higher-up is killed.

The deaths of children are more newsworthy, in themselves. You rarely hear their names, just the fact that it happened, because they are not otherwise notable as individuals.

Israel accuses the combatants of hiding among civilians, using them as human shields. If true, it would make the deaths of civilians inevitable. That is why hiding among non-combatants is a war crime.

I was being ironic. Israel enemies just don't destroy it because they are unable to. Israel is forced to do what they are doing.
