So when you say children, you mean terrorists. Anyway Hamas uses children as human shields, so among those he had to run over, I am sure some children were among them. Hamas uses children as human shields, that when the terrorists get bombed, they can start crying, like seen in this post. Using human shields is forbidden by the Geneva convention, so they are legit military targets, when terrorists hides among them.
there are three Additional Protocols to the Geneva Conventions:
Additional Protocol I (1977):
Relates to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts
Contains 102 articles
Expands protection for civilians, military and civilian medical workers in international armed conflicts
Prohibits weapons causing "superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering"
Provides special protections for women, children, journalists, and medical personnel
Additional Protocol II (1977):
Relates to the Protection of Victims of Non-International Armed Conflicts
Contains 28 articles
Applies to internal conflicts and civil wars
Prohibits attacks on civilians and "objects indispensable to civilian survival"
Strengthens protections for wounded, sick, and shipwrecked individuals

Israel has not ratified the first and second Additional Protocols to the Geneva Conventions, which were adopted in 1977.
Israel is considered a "persistent objector" to some provisions of the First Additional Protocol
