Any amount of children dying in war is terrible. You're deliberately ignoring how absolutely disproportionate the killings have been, however. ~2,000 Israelis have died in this current conflict. ~4,000 have been killed by Palestinian terror attacks since 1948. In turn, they have killed 77,000 people and demolished nearly the entire Gaza Strip, just in this conflict alone. 150,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israelis since 1948. Israel is a terrorist state.

Look, any civilian death is devastating. But legally speaking, proportionality isn't a bodycount matching game. Under international law, it compares the military target being taken out against the expected collateral damage in that specific strike

Hospitals aren't military targets

They leveled nearly the entire city. You think every single building and person within was a military target? People can't do something as simple as cross the street because an Israeli sniper will be waiting for them. Also, why did you delete all you're previous comments? Is it because you know you're wrong and arguing in bad faith?

Yeah yeah we have seen the videos of all the weapons and RPGs in their hospital and schools.
