The IDF and Shin Bet security agency on Saturday night named 19 Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror operatives that it said it killed in an airstrike Saturday morning on a Hamas and Islamic Jihad command room at the Taba’een school in Gaza City.

      Wikipedia: 1,180 killed[18][c][d] 797 civilians,[e] including 36 children[f] 379 security forces[19]

      For sources cited (they are legit), see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Hamas-led_attack_on_Israel

      Basically, the unacceptable and disgusting Hamas terror attack had a 32% legitimate targets to total hits ratio

      Edit:

      Or you can say that for every 1 legitimate target they also killed 2 illegitimate ones.

      That of course does not mean that killing of legitimate targets cannot be a war crime (eg when they surrender).

      But for the IDF to not be comparable to an abominable terror group, the ratios should be much different. And if we are to accept the “most moral army” thing, the ratio should be radically different (angel vs devil comparison).

      Is it?
