It’s just a very smart way to spread propaganda by using a real statistic out of context.
Of course “70% of the victims are either children or women” sounds horrible - until you realize that a majority of the population there in underage (and therefore children) and that Hama’s is actively using underage children as soldiers - and if you look at the difference between the age structure and the casualties adult males are more likely to be victims than the other groups which are actually underrepresented.

That’s because it is horrible. The vast majority of Israel’s victims are innocent and that includes adult males, the vast majority of whom are also innocent.
Hamas does not use children as soldiers. There would not be any reason for them to do so, as they lack weapons not manpower.

Only slightly. The reason is similar to how America conducted itself in Iraq. Every adult male is considered a valid target with zero evidence required.
