I suspect the answer is somewhere in the middle. The IDF clearly could have done this with less collateral damage because, as far as I can tell, they made little to no effort to minimize it.

Having said that, it's not clear just how much it could be minimized. Pretty much any apparent civilian could be a danger, as Hamas is still broadly popular and does not follow any sort of rules of war.
