When the Palestinian gunmen stormed the kibbutz, they set fire to several homes in what had been a bustling community “to force their occupants to come out,” said Omar Barak, a 24-year-old Israeli army officer. […] “We have found many bodies inside the homes,” he said. […] “I had never seen anything worse. I broke down when I saw the bodies of two children assassinated,” he said.
The wildest claim I read was one IDF commander claiming 40 dead babies, some of them beheaded. I don’t know where you read they rounded them up or that they were all beheaded?
Anyway from the other side I haven’t read anywhere that the freedom fighters had spared the babies. If they did I’d think it would be impossible to keep covered up, so unless that happens I assume they killed the babies as well
God knows, there’s been a lot of wild claims floating around, which is why I’m pissy and trying to do my bit in pointing out disinformation.
To be clear, nobody is claiming that babies were spared. The essence of the misinformation that’s been floating around, is that HAMAS had been purposefully targeting babies specifically for mutilation and beheading. There has been zero evidence of that thus far, and circumstantial evidence in favour of the opposite (like the white house retracting Biden’s comments).
Do you believe they spared the children?
There’s plenty of articles

Nobody’s denying children died in the attack. The claim under dispute is that the terrorists collected 40 babies for a mass execution by beheading.
