This is a very common Russian military tactic. They did this in Syria as well. Declare a ceasefire for "humanitarian" reasons, then state that anybody who stayed in the city is CLEARLY a jihadi or a Nazi or whatever, and bombard the civilian areas with that as your PR line.

One of the most profound sources for disagreements between NATO and the Soviets, and later the Russians, is the latter's inability to see NATO as a true bloc of equals with mutual interests. They see it as the Western version of the Warsaw Pact, a top-down defense org.

To expand on this a bit - Russia has definitely struck aid sites in Ukraine (and many civilian sites) in stark violation of IHL. But they have generally respected the safety of convoys notified to them by the UN. The point is that the IDF isn't even meeting that lowest of bars.
