Why not?

Because America!?

Let's do it in terms of Hamas.

We blow up everything there and excuse the death of innocent people as "human shields" because the military base has residential areas around it.

But you're arguing this is different. So perhaps explain.

Or accept the fact that "human shields" was a way to excuse Israelis killing Palestinians.

Hamas intentionally builds bases under civilian structures to specifically prevent them from being bombed.

Well that ended up working out well for them.

Also, how is that different than your initial statement:

" ... pretty much every military base has residential areas around it."

You're smort, write something that makes sense.

Families build communities next to military base.

Right. Human shields.

As for Gaza, it's just a strip, building "military bases" - regardless of where - is gonna be surrounded with residential areas, schools hospitals, etc ... mostly due to lack of space.

As for the Iranian school that was blown up, twice, it wasn't a military structure, it didn't have a military structure under it either.

Killing children is an Israeli tactic to demoralize the populous.

Early in the "war", four hospitals were destroyed in Tehran, one of them that was specifically for children.

The Israeli government and members of IDF need to be held responsible for all the atrocities they've committed.
