Knowing where you are is a skill that gets better when you use it and that rusts when you don't. This is why I still use a paper map in my car or in the woods, it forces me to think and it's very gratifying when you realize that you know exactly where you are and what path to take.
Admittedly I still use my smartphone when I don't have time to wander a bit.
Also, a Palestinian was killed in the turmoil.
Is driving a single vehicle into a camp enough of an offense to warrant Molotov cocktails? It seems like drawing the attention of the Israeli military is not something the average refugee would want.
That's a somewhat misleading headline. From the article: Agence France-Presse quoted a Waze official as saying the device setting to warn about areas “dangerous or prohibited for Israelis to drive through” was off. “In this case, the setting was disabled. In addition, the driver deviated from the suggested route and, as a result, entered the prohibited area,” the official told the news agency.
Or just maybe, militar personnel ough to rely on their government's reconn/intel reports instead of using customer grade apps that were never designed for wartime usage.

Certainly not, but dismissing a human death like "oh by the way they just ran over a cat" is not warranted either imo.

In isolation, of course not. But there are decades of context that affect this situation; it wasn't a single vehicle that provoked the attack.
(To be clear: I oppose violence by all sides.)

I don't think these are average refugees. These camps have probably existed for decades and, as the article states, the people inside are armed to the teeth. The whole situation is always just on the brink of devolving into chaos.
Remember kids, stay away from the refugee camps created inside your country.
