I don't buy it, for a couple reasons. One being that this 'human shield' claim has been used in the past by bully countries (like the US) trying to make the opposition look inhuman, 'You made us kill them' seems a common justification (I'm surprised they haven't claimed that Palestine 'deserves it because of how it was dressed'). Two because there's clearly enough civilian casualties to blame Israel for already, there's no point in making more, it's not like the UN/media requires a certain number of children to be killed before they will speak out.
