In the 33 000 figure Hamas combatants are included.
I'd say at least 20000 innocent civilians killed since the start of the conflict. Probably more as Israel seems to be quite trigger happy on civilians.
Neither does Israel.
I'd say that the idea that Israel has actually killed 10 000 combatants is a pretty fanciful one. I'd be surprised if they've even managed 5000.
Hamas claims 6000 of their militants were killed.

Probably 2/3 of the remaining, presumed Hamas terrorists 1/3 are radicalized or hungry people that do day to day chores of Hamas after seeing many loved ones die to Israel and being deliberately starved by the blockades, rather than being religious, fanatic, or other forms of ideological Hamas members. People with nothing left seeking purpose in revenge, a rise against the oppression they have been suffering for decades, trying to work out some sort of relief or aid organization in civil governmental structures, getting by thanks to being in Hamas instead of out in the streets all alone.
I wouldn't estimate Israel taking out more than a couple thousand core Hamas members that propagate their debatable idealogy, backed by the "collateral" standards IDF have shown throughout the last few flashpoints.

Israel has become exactly what it loathes.
The dead women and children were declared hamas posthumously by the IDF
