Is it fair or logical to ask a technologically advanced democratic nation not to apply collective punishment to a nation or not to kill family members of people they believe are committing crimes? I'd say so.
Killing Qassam launchers is not collective punishment.

And the old claim that the Israelis were really targeting terrorists and civlians just happened to get in the way has been used far too many times to be believable
And what is unbelievable about that? In war civilians die. Are you familiar with wars that civilians don't die? Of course we should differentiate what is main target of the attack and what was done to minimize civilian losses
