Unfortunately the genders are on opposite sides here but compare these two graphs and tell me the bombing is not indiscriminate
Note to anyone comparing these charts: the percentages are displayed differently. In the original post the percentages are ages for total victims. In this chart the percentages are separated by gender. So to compare you’d need to roughly cut these in half. For example: males aged 0-4 are estimated to be 6% of the victims but are around 7.65% of the total population.

The point of the charts is that the death toll is roughly comparable to the population distribution, which is the case when the attacking force is killing without tegsrd to civilians. Israel is attacking the population as a whole.
They do look pretty similar to me, but can’t say without numbers. Keeping in mind the population graph is a couple years old - half of a bar height - they both show a minor peak/inflection around age 30 that’s maybe 2/3 of the major peak around 5. Babies seem to be spared from the bombing, but that could be fewer births or increased non-violent infant mortality.
IMO, it’s not a great data set to claim Israelis are intentionally targeting children, but it is pretty good for saying they are not intentionally targeting military-age men.
Nobody implied they’re intentionally targeting children with their bombing.
They’re indiscriminately bombing all Palestinians. If they were targeting Hamas, and attempting to limit civilian casualties, you’d see a much higher proportion of adult males.
