Because someone decided it was such a funny idea to use these places to launch missiles at their enemies.

Fucking godawful people Hamas are, ruining the lives of 2 million people and assuring untold suffering for probably generations. The sooner those fucks are gone, the better.

Oh, well if bad people did bad thing, that definitely justifies bombing civilians, which totally isn't a war crime.
