Palestinians in Gaza say Israeli drones use loudspeakers to play sounds of crying babies and screaming women, deliberately luring people from their homes. Once they step outside, the drones reportedly attack, killing those who emerge and sowing terror among residents.

The are awaiting the return of the messiah... but they don't believe in Jesus.
I have long thought that they are actively trying to bring back Satan, and their behaviour over the last 20 or 30 years has been them showing off for him... the fact that we have yet to see their "messiah's" return only makes me think that they've actually managed to scare the devil away.

Look this is the literal exact text from the Bible
Context: This is a prophetic vision into the future where God (Yahweh) just destroyed: Gaza, Lebanon, Syra, and Sudan basically all in one sitting. So Israel is living pretty comfortably in their reclaimed home. Because Isreal continues to behave corruptly despite no threats and not turning to God he says this:
“I have destroyed nations; their strongholds are demolished. I have left their streets deserted, with no one passing through. Their cities are laid waste; they are deserted and empty. Of Jerusalem I thought, ‘Surely you will fear me and accept correction!’ Then her place of refuge would not be destroyed, nor all my punishments come upon her. But they were still eager to act corruptly in all they did. Therefore wait for me,” declares the Lord, “for the day I will stand up to testify. I have decided to assemble the nations, to gather the kingdoms and to pour out my wrath on them— all my fierce anger. The whole world will be consumed by the fire of my jealous anger.”Zephaniah 3:7-8 NIV

I don't think the Israelis really believe their own racist propaganda that Palestinians are inhuman monsters because the only way this tactic works is if Palestinians are empathetic people who care enough to risk their own safety to help others.

With all due respect, that kind of shows a lack of understanding as to how propaganda works, and has always worked.
Every war criminal from every conflict in existence who would gladly end the lives of their enemy's children under the believe that they're all monsters, would just as readily beg for the life of their own child to be spared on the basis that their child doesn't bear responsibility for the crimes they themselves committed.
Dehumanization tactics and tribalism in general have always been heavily reliant on people's tendency to compartmentalize those sorts of beliefs.
That's why propaganda can be so effective; it's typically designed to take advantage of those sorts of tenancies. And the best way to fight against it is to teach people to recognize it when they see it, and condemn it when they recognize it.

The last time someone messaged me it was October 2nd. A friend of mine messaged me first telling me a quadcopter was hovering while playing sounds of a woman crying and pleading for help. We stayed up talking for about four hours until she said it stopped. It’s… really damaging for them. I had to constantly remind her that it wasn’t a real woman, but a sound being played.
A few hours later another friend messaged me that a quadcopter was playing sounds of a woman screaming and then people were attacked when they tried to find the screaming woman. They haven’t reported it again since then.

The Telegraph - ‘Drone snipers’ firing at targets around Gaza hospitals, says trapped British doctor
The Israeli army/Haganah did this during the 1948 war in order to incite terror, causing the Palestinian civilian population to flee - i.e., ethnic cleansing:

'Ethnic cleansing' was first defined by the United Nations as rendering a location ethnically homogenous or emptied of the targeted group and which can be achieved through direct or indirect (ie terror) means:
'55. The expression ’ethnic cleansing’ is relatively new. Considered in the context of the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia, ’ethnic cleansing’ means rendering an area ethnically homogenous by using force or intimidation to remove persons of given groups from the area. ’Ethnic cleansing’ is contrary to international law.
'56. Based on the many reports describing the policy and practices conducted in the former Yugoslavia, "ethnic cleansing" has been carried out by means of murder, torture, arbitrary arrest and detention, extra-judicial executions, rape and sexual assault, confinement of civilian population in ghetto areas, forcible removal, displacement and deportation of civilian population, deliberate military attacks or threats of attacks on civilians and civilian areas, and wanton destruction of property. Those practices constitute crimes against humanity and can be assimilated to specific war crimes. Furthermore, such acts could also fall within the meaning of the Genocide Convention.

The number of videos coming from Gaza is more then any other conflict. Yet there is not a single one of this happening. Furthermore, there isn't any of quadcopters shooting anyone in Gaza. Quadcopter are used in Gaza for surveillance and to drop explosives.
Practically, there are so many people moving around on the streets. Why would the IDF need to "lure" people?

No we don't believe anything. We inform ourself from multiple credible & verifiable sources. I won't make any assumptions about the playbacks of crying women and children over drone speakers, as I don't know anything about that, but judging by the NPR article, I've no doubt the Israelis would operate on such an abysmal level.
Some footage about the brave IDF bombing unarmed people just walking along a road
They use AI to identify targets and don't even double check if it was hallucinating.
NPR Article specificly about Quadcopters shooting civilians
Dr. Mimi Syed, an American emergency and trauma physician who worked at Nasser Hospital in central Gaza for a month this past summer, says she had multiple patients a day — many in pediatrics — with single gunshot wounds to the head. "Every time someone would come in, they would be brought by family, and it was my routine practice to ask what happened. And every time, it would be a quadcopter drone shot," Dr. Syed says. "And this was on individual days, from different parts of Gaza, in individual incidents, over and over again."
In 2014, veterans of Israeli special forces units formed a U.S.-based company called Duke Robotics, which later announced it had created the TIKAD — a small drone with a camera that could be outfitted with several different types of lightweight firearms and shoot while it hovers, adjusting for the recoil of the weapons. A 2018 marketing video describes the drones as "the future soldier" that can be "deployed to places human soldiers can't reach, or simply shouldn't have to go." The video says the company "is in the process of implementing orders from Israeli forces."
In response to a question from NPR, Smartshooter denied that its Smash Dragon drone is being used by the Israeli military. But Israeli forces have touted the use of other Smartshooter technology in the past, and some other Smartshooter products are partially funded by Israel's Defense Ministry's research and development wing.

They seem to be reasonably reliable sources, though their reports seem to stem from first hand reports from locals, and not objective independent observation.
As someone that’s used a lot of drones, it’s worth noting that they are VERY loud, and I wonder how likely it is that these sounds so clearly convey speech and crying children without the loud sound the drones themselves make, without any compression or distortion that would almost certainly be created by distance, Doppler etc.
If true, and the reports on balance at least seem to be partly credible - this is awful. If however, these drones are being used against legitimate military targets, that’s another matter altogether.
