What proof do you have that Palestinian terrorists "deliberately" target children? Kassam rockets are not guided. Those few Palestinian infiltrators who make it out of the Ghetto hit the first target they can: soldier, armed settler, etc. IDF terrorist snipers deliberately target children, yes. They have done so with telescopic sniper rifles aimed from the Wall. They shelled a family of a woman and her children openly visible to Israeli terror gunboats.

A schoolgirl riddled with bullets. And no one is to blame. Questions remain after Israeli unit commander is cleared of Palestinian pupil's death
Chris McGreal in Rafah
The Guardian, Thursday October 21 2004 Article history
The undisputed facts are these: it was broad daylight, 13-year-old Iman al-Hams was wearing her school uniform, and when she walked into the Israeli army's "forbidden zone" at the bottom of her street she was carrying her satchel. A few minutes later the short, slight child was pumped with bullets. Doctors counted at least 17 wounds and said much of her head was destroyed.
Beyond that there is little agreement between the army top brass and Palestinian witnesses as to how Iman came to die last week, or even among members of the military unit responsible for killing the child in Gaza's Rafah refugee camp.
Palestinian witnesses described the shooting as cold-blooded. They say soldiers could not have failed to see they were firing at a child, and she was killed as she already lay wounded and helpless.
