“This was intentional,” said U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib. “You don’t accidentally kill massive amounts of children and their families over and over again and get to say, ‘It was a mistake.’”

That’s true. I do understand that. In my view, it is willful blindness. You cannot stick your head in the sand and claim ignorance.
The truth of the matter is that the only reason a particular family might not know is because so many other Palestinians are providing cover and support for Hamas.
Every family in Gaza may not know a particular commander, they still know the Hamas people from their neighborhood, know where there’s a tunnel shaft or two. With even slight cooperation, combined with Israeli intelligence, Hamas would already be gone and we’d be talking about a pretty tame reconstruction, instead we’re talking about a fire in a refugee camp, and a reconstruction that will could take a decade. That’s the moral hazard of starting a war, it has to end somehow.
