A minority of Israelis do say this. It's not something shouted in a music festival e.g. The official position and policy of the IDF is that Israel does not target civilians. I would say the majority of Israelis do not agree with this statement. [EDIT: for clarity that there are no innocents in Gaza] Not to justify but they (the minority) are partly referring to the complicity of random Palestinians in cheering and participating in parading hostages and dead bodies brought in from the Oct 7th attacks. Civilians that followed the militants on Oct 7th to pillage and kill. The general support Hamas has in the population, including for the Oct 7th attacks. The celebrations after the attack. Civilians involved in holding Israeli hostages (some/many of the Israeli hostages were held by civilians) and otherwise actively participating in the conflict. Either way civilians should not be a target, regardless of the views they hold. Trying to draw a target on all civilians, is not ok. The statement that there are no innocents in Gaza (that's usually the framing) is also very obviously wrong. Even if a large number is Hamas and engages in the kinds of behavior described above it's certainly far from all. Many Palestinians are under death threats from Hamas as well. This expression isn't at the same level of calling for their death (though "Death to Arabs" has been chanted by the Israeli right wing after e.g. terrorist attacks in the past). It's possible some Israelis use this to support more aggressive tactics but in general the official policy is that the IDF targets Hamas and not civilians. It's also different when these things come out of parties to the conflict vs. random third parties.
