So now that you have finally concluded that Israel actually did kill it's own citizens, the next step is to accept the high probability that they killed those people for political reasons. They wanted the death toll to be as high as possible, for the pictures of the dead to look horrendous and for the attack they knew was coming to be the most useful to them in their quest to wipe out Palestinians.
This claim you make -- "they [Israel] indiscriminately killed civilians but have little evidence that Hamas did the same on any large scale. " is unsupported by the Ynet article or other evidence you give. The Ynet article supports the claim that Israel may have fired on any vehicle returning to Gaza even if it contained Israeli civilians being taken hostage (this is the context of the "Hannibal directive" cited). There is nothing in it that supports the claim that Israel indiscriminately killed its own civilians outside of the case of those individual civilians in a Hamas-controlled vehicle returning to Gaza as hostages. That would not be indiscriminate or on a mass scale. There is also nothing in the article that supports the claim that Hamas did *not* kill civilians on a large scale. The other more anecdotal cases you give also do not support such a sweeping claim. For all its colossal length your article gives the impression of being biased and unwilling to consider the totality of the evidence, or even to fairly present the evidence you do highlight.
Excellent article, a great overview of the situation (and a shocking read), I will be sharing it a lot.
I still don't get why they had to invent such absurd atrocities.

All a cover for the genocide that is occurring.
