2.4% of the Oct7 deaths were children so it doesn't look like Hamas were targeting them. If anything this number suggests Hamas mostly avoided killing children since 28% of israeli population is under 16 https://www.statista.com/statistics/526596/age-structure-in-israel/

Hamas is a bunch mediocre trained dudes with RPG's and AK's. If you do the violent resistance thing with guns in a civilian area then kids are gonna get hit. That and the israeli Hellfire missles that blew up the Kibbutzes afterwards might have burned some extra kids

You seem to be missing the entire point of the post that it's not okay when any party kills civilians.

If Hamas kills children it's unjustifiable. If israel kills 200 times more children than Hamas it's also unjustifiable.
