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.

You keep attacking straw men.

There are children soldiers and Gaza. There are 16 and 17 years old (and younger) that have active combative roles. You don't have to look far to find them, just go to the Hamas and Gaza social media profiles and see the profiles of their operatives.

It's deplorable, it's tragic, but it's the reality.

I'm not redefining childhood and I'm not supporting killing of children. I do say that when reading these kind of reports you should be aware that they show only a part of the information.

I don't have social media. Provide me with some screenshots then.

Don't ask to be spoon fed information - that's how you get incorrect and inaccurate info.

Here, a simple google search to start with https://www.google.com/search?q=gaza+children+soldiers

I'm asking you to prove your claim, not to be spoon fed. So either show me a link or keep your claim unproven.
