Maybe they should be sleeping with their babies and holding them the whole time while air raids are happening. As a parent, that is what I would do.

No offense, but that's a pretty weird thing to say. There are a bunch of reasons why you might be seeing that:
-infants and kids are far more fragile and less likely to be able to respond to avoid injury than adults, so they're more likely to die from blunt impacts like that
-in cases where a whole family dies in an air strike, you're obviously not going to see videos of a living parent holding a dead kid.
-related to the above, you're being fed propaganda from the Palestinian side and dead kids works great for that. In reality, the number of children dying in Gaza airstrikes is significantly below their share of the population.
But that doesn't mean none are going to die and it certainly doesn't mean we should undermine the tragedy of little kids being killed in war by blaming their parents.
