You are 100% right and you are reinforced by the Geneva conventions. When an enemy army situates itself in civilian population any resulting civilian loss of life is on the enemy army's head, not the attacker. These rules are in place to stop situations just like the one we have today.

Give me some time and I can find a link, work beckons.

Work....pesky but necessary.

Several Freepers and I have been in extensive discussions about the Geneva Conventions. They are fresh on my mind, and I have links to them.
Thanks - just thought I'd save you some time there!

Cordially,
GE
