Article 51(7) of Protocol I:

The presence or movements of the civilian population or individual civilians shall not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations, in particular in attempts to shield military objectives from attacks or to shield, favour or impede military operations. The Parties to the conflict shall not direct the movement of the civilian population or individual civilians in order to attempt to shield military objectives from attacks or to shield military operations.

That one.

So obviously the answer is kill the civvies

Israel, to their credit, are taking steps to avoid civilian casualties, including leaflet drops, phone calls, and the infamous "roof knocking".
