Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

What do you mean? You can watch it happening, it's not a secret. There aren't attacks on Israel right now,, they aren't being invaded, Gazans are pinned in a box being slaughtered in one of the densest cities in the world.

What? Of course there are attacks on Israel right now.

There is ongoing mortar and rocket fire from Gaza on Israel

Also Lebanon fires rockets hitting Israel, in collaboration with Palestine

The death toll in Israel is lower because they have infrastructure that protects the civilians from the rockets.

While in Gaza the population is extremely dense with about 12000 people per square kilometre and no shelters.

Also Hamas wants civilians to stay in the zones because Hamas entire defense strategy depends on Israel killing civilians in Gaza. If that wasn't happening, much less people would stand behind Palestine.

You can find here an analysis from the NATO on how Hamas uses "human shields".
