There’s between 20,000 to 25,000 HAMAS fighters(Not including other Palestinian factions that are fighting along HAMAS like PFLP or Islamic Jihad or DFLP), even if zero innocents would die, and it’s impossible in urban combat by your logic it would still be genocide.
That’s the thing. It’s called a war crime because it’s a crime to commit it during a war. Israel is making the calculation that even if they do kill Gazan citizens it’s ok because they got the bad guy too, it’s a terrible calculation.

Source for those numbers?
Because both Hamas and Israel have reason to inflate the number of fighters.

Yes, this is the source I used, because it seems the most realistic to me.
The HAMAS in group source says that it has 40k fighters, but it seems too inflated to me. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/how-hamas-aims-trap-israel-gaza-quagmire-2023-11-03/
