I'll pass the question to ashesofautumn, who either is now or has recently been in Israel. But one would hope that the Israelis would have more sense than to fall for a fairly obvious piece of war propaganda. (Yes, children do die in war - so do teen-agers, young adults, middle-aged, ageing, elderly and decrepit persons. The issue is what the war is meant to achieve, and whether it can be achieved.)
