There are so many things that are wrong with this sentence.

It's such a low effort reply that doesn't offer any proof or arguments to back it up.

It isn't true and it's actually documented that it's the IDF that used palestinians as human shields to protect themselves. (https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-arm...)

Even if were true, this doesn't justify the killing of civilians. You wouldn't blow up an entire building if there was a single terrorist in there. But, if I'm not mistaken, the IDF has quite a high number of acceptable collateral casualties, in the 100s, for a single valid target. So they're purposefully attacking civilians or attacking without any care for them.
