Nothing good in a war, people get killed including children, no need to be shocked over the figures.

You're not shocked by this, from supposedly, the most moral army in the world?
A joint report by Oxfam and Action on Armed Violence in October 2024 found the Israeli military had killed more women and children in Gaza than in any other conflict around the world in the past two decades.

Did they forget to include the Syrian civil war in their findings.

About 30,000 children were killed in the Syrian civil war.

As a percentage of total casualties the IDF killed more women and children than in any other conflict around the world in the last two decades.

There was no claim from any quarter that they were the most moral army in the world in the Syrian Civil war.

You Don't need to rely on Hamas figures.
Common sense alone tells you that if you drop 10s of 1000's of tons of bombs on a densely populated area the size of the Isle of Wight, you are going to kill a lot of people.
Satellite imagery and other evidence show that Gaza has been devastated.

Israel has admitted to bombing 40,000 targets in one year alone.

From Wiki..

By one estimate, as of April 2024 the bomb tonnage dropped on Gaza was more than 70,000 tonnes,<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_bombing_of_the_Gaza_Strip#cite_note-euromed-70000-6"><span>[</span>6<span>]</span></a> surpassing the combined bomb tonnage dropped on Dresden, Hamburg, and London in World War II.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_bombing_of_the_Gaza_Strip#cite_note-7"><span>[</span>7<span>]</span></a> Satellite imagery showed at least 69% of all buildings were damaged or destroyed,<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_bombing_of_the_Gaza_Strip#cite_note-theguardian20240130-8"><span>[</span>8<span>]</span></a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_bombing_of_the_Gaza_Strip#cite_note-aljazeera-wasteland-9"><span>[</span>9<span>]</span></a> which surpasses the scale of destruction in Cologne and Dresden and approaches that of Hamburg during World War II
 
Some people object to Israel's policy of destroying water systems and sewage facilities with the intention of spreading death and disease among the people whose homes and towns have been destroyed.
