You’re correct, the terrorists abducting children “started” this whole thing.

The facts are the facts. The children had been held hostage for a long time. Long enough that their continued health was a great concern. The terrorists had been systematically murdering male hostages. The place was rigged from top to bottom with explosives. The terrorists showed no concern about their own lives. They planned this attack so that they could take advantage of gaining the largest number of hostages and victims as possible.

Somebody had to go in and start killing. Unfortunately, many innocents died.

“Somebody had to go in and start killing.”

Civilized countries often resolve these hostage situations by negotiation.

And whats up with using tank fire - 7 rounds - thats bound to kill more hostages than terrorists - and it did.
