ABORTED means the client disconnected. There is nothing you can do about
that in Squid.

HIT means the object delivered came from cache. No upstream bandwidth
was consumed in the process.

The 206 means client is fetching a range of data out of a larger object.
Turning that into a 200 (full-object) delivered to client will only
spend more bandwidth.

These are all controlling Squid contact with servers. Limiting upstream
bandwidth expenditure when the client aborts. Which is useful for
TCP_MISS_ABORTED/206 cases.

Since your log says HIT, the only thing you could do in Squid is
completely reject these clients requests.
