Please get into reality. This is a war and not a disney movie.

If you would be in the situation of the IDF soldier, you would not shoot because you could kill a child. Really, let's stop that nonsense.
Self defense only apply in situations where your death is imminent, and not in the situation of a preemptive strike justifying with "noble" purpose.
This logic applies equally to children and hostages.
