You must ask a)how many children are killed in a "normal" operation of this scale? b)how accurate are the numbers, who's reporting them? c)Is it likely that in reality, many of these children were killed by Hamas rockets, that malfunctioned and fell within their own territory?

I would hesitate to categorically accept these figures from Hamas.

Hang on a second, I’m having trouble keeping all of these tinfoil hats on my head at once.
Did you count them personally or you just trust Hamas reports?
I find this attitude towards other humans’ suffering and deaths extremely apathetic, void of any decency.

May we never feel the pain of losing a child, let alone the world erasing them entirely with such a shameless response.

I agree, i also find trusting terrorists not only extremely ignorant but also extremely dangerous. Let the peace be with you.
al-Ghad TV has been broadcasting live from al-Shifa hospital 24/7 since this started. There's no indication anyone but doctors, nurses and coroners are doing the counting. The burden of proof would be on you. There's also quite a bit of evidence in the form of amatuer photos and videos. Several news teams have been to the morgue as well.
