You should be complimenting the Palestinians on fighting against soldiers instead of civilians.

They attacked civilians who had an armed guard. Most, but not all, of the dead came from the guard. They had an armed guard because they have been repeatedly attacked. I must have missed the bit in the Geneva Conventions where civilians turn into a proper military objective once they have an armed guard.

Also, my comments were not so much directed at the attack as directed at the headline, which made it sound like the Palestinians had died after an Israeli ambush, instead of the other way around.
