Drag disagrees with you characterising the conflict as a war. These are not just military losses.
Here's a list of zero year olds killed by the IDF in the last year. Zero year olds are not soldiers.

oh well if we're including civilian deaths, and you assume i'm only talking about military deaths (which afaik i wasn't but i didn't look too hard at the data so lmao)
This would actually only bolster my point. As it would increase the stats i've presented, or decrease the ones you've presented.
also to be clear, there's like 300 names on the list.
"When Al Jazeera launched from the Qatari capital, Doha, on Friday, November 1, 1996, it was the first independent news channel in the Arab world." cool source bro.
Shitposting aside, i have nothing to reference this number to. It's probably high, but that's a cost that israel is willing to take, and clearly, it's a cost that palestine is willing to pay. Seems to me that both parties are content with the situation.
Those babies didn't vote for Hamas. Most of the people in Gaza didn't vote for Hamas. The last election was in 2006, and the median age in Gaza is 18. The percentage of currently alive Gazans who participated in that election is tiny. And Israel interfered in that election to help Hamas. Hamas is a puppet of Israel, selling Israel's propaganda that they are at war with Gaza. They are not. They are at war with Hamas. Gaza is not Hamas. Gaza is not at war, it's just being levelled.
