According to Haaretz & Times of Israel by Grok or just search both newspapers

“The Times of Israel, citing Hebrew media, reported that among the 764 civilian victims, there were two infants, 12 children under 10 (including Mila Cohen), 36 civilians aged 10–19, and 25 elderly people over 80. A Bedouin woman, shot in the abdomen while pregnant, lost her unborn child despite medical efforts.”

“Haaretz also clarified misinformation, debunking exaggerated claims such as babies being hung on clotheslines or groups of children being slaughtered and mutilated, stating that such reports were false. They emphasized that while atrocities occurred, including desecration of corpses and beheadings, specific claims about mass child killings were inaccurate.”

The Gaza Health Ministry has documented over 18,500 children killed in Gaza between October 7, 2023, and July 31, 2025, with names, ages, and other identifying details included in their records. This includes 4,741 babies under 5 years old, with the first 100 pages of a 386-page document listing these infants. Additionally, 953 babies under one year and 400 newborns are among the documented deaths. These figures are based on hospital and morgue records, vetted family reports, and reliable media, though the actual toll may be higher due to unidentified or missing individuals.[](https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/interactive/2025/israel-gaza-war-children-death-toll/)
