Let’s take it to an extreme. By this logic, you’d be okay with killing everyone on earth to rescue your child. This includes me and my children. This is insane.
To answer directly I wouldn’t be okay with the military killing hundreds of civilians to save anyone of my family, myself included. Not sure where my number is but it’s at least an order of magnitude lower.
Congrats, you just found how terrorism is created. By violence. You just openly admitted that you will turn willfully a terrorist if the right conditions are met, e.g. someone endangers your child.
Now imagine how many Palestinian parents lost their children in this war. How do you think they feel?
And now imagine you were on the opposite side. How would you feel if someone kills your child, in the pursuit of saving their own? Would you still be so cool?
How many people would you be willing to let the military kill to rescue your child who had been taken hostage?
My answer is “anyone who gets in the way”

I don’t see that as insane at all. Why should I put anyone else’s lives above my own children?
