If the IDF was operating with more precision, then yes that might be hard to believe. But given that they're using heavy munitions in a densely populated area and that they apparently shot 3 of their own hostages who were waving a white flag, I don't think the casualty breakdown is particularly hard to believe.

A large amount of the damage is in the North where Israel had told everyone to leave, so wouldn't children have vacated those areas first?
I know Isreal has also bombed in the South too and IMO have certainly gone way overboard in their attacks.
But I do think the reported children number is likely inflated considering how much of the damage is in areas children should have been evacuated first.
The death toll shouldn't be proportionate to normal population numbers since populations start to move out of warzones.
