There was a discussion on one of my podcasts about all of this as a "tale of two strikes." There is this contrast between the strikes on the WCK vehicles and the Iranian embassy. The strike on the embassy was precision. It killed only those targeted. The strikes in Gaza were, giving the benefit of the doubt, careless. A retired official who used to take part in planning these sorts of strikes described the team that handled the Iranian strike as seasoned veterans taking an action with months of planning, whereas the strikes in Gaza were performed by relative novices, likely tired and without as much prior planning.
That person explained the difference in tactics in that manner. While this makes sense and goes towards it being unintentional, it also explains why so many civilians, journalists, and aid workers have been killed by Israel during this.
