Whether it's by knife, gun, bomb, etc, killing children is abhorrent and there isn't really a scale of acceptable ways to do it vs unacceptable ways.

A person targeting a missile to hit an enemy does not have in his purpose to kill a baby. A person with a knife in his hand will only kill the baby if he has that purpose. It is a special kind of psychopath that would be able to do that to a baby. Even harden killers would balk at such. There is even in legal terms escalators to the charge of murder based on the how and who.
It also doesn't justify the same crime at all, just as nothing Israel has done justified it happening to the baby. It does prove Hamas is a terrorist organization, and anyone cheering them on has blood on their hands.
