My speculation as to why they would do such a horrible thing is because they know they can't hold the position and want to cause as much damage as possible before they leave. Why would they bomb civilian targets like apartment buildings?

Because artillery, mortar fire is not 100% accurate. Because using civilians as shield is war 101!
