I have friends in some of these units, so I can tell you how they're trained. For a long while now they've dropped leaflets (less so now), used the phone systems, and performed roof knocking to evacuate people from targets. You'll have a really hard to finding other armies who do the same.
But despite that, and particularly given the density of the targets, people die.
Israelis aren't particularly stoked to kill kids, just as Americans weren't in Iraq or Afghanistan. Neverthless, many children died in those theatres of war too.
What's very rare though, is for Israelis to rush into Palestinian streets and music festivals, and just start randomly killing women and children without any military targets in mind. That however, just happened to Israel. And the world got to watch it on X.
