    This is true, but the casualties are hitting the population of Gaza indiscriminately, and the median age there is only 18. So you’re still killing half children. Even if the ranks of Hamas are heavily stacked with 16-17 year old kids (in which case indiscriminate killing of them would still be better to avoid, it’s not like child soldiers are really capable of consenting to the risks of armed conflict), there’s no way the majority of the deaths are actual Hamas combatants.
