Sham Bilal Abdullah Hamdan was only four months old when she was brutally murdered last Saturday.
According to publications in the Arab media, an unknown person entered her family's home in northern Gaza, attacked the mother of the family and threw the baby from the third floor window.
Gaza police are reportedly investigating.
The only media outlet that published in English the story of the horrible death of the baby girl is the pro-Israeli blog "Zakani Zion".
There is almost no coverage of the affair in Arabic either.
To be sure, the unfortunate baby did not receive a one-minute obituary, from the official spokesperson of the United States government.
The speaker, Ned Price, dedicated 165 words in his daily briefing to express "deep condolences" to the family of Jana Zakharna, a 16-year-old girl from Jenin, who was caught in a shootout between border guards and terrorists.
"It's a tragic event. It's a heartbreaking event, every time you hear about a civilian being killed in these types of operations," said the spokesman on behalf of his senders.

He added that "We understand that the IDF is conducting an investigation into what happened.
The outgoing Prime Minister Lapid did express his condolences to the family of Yana Zakharna.
We note that her tragic death comes against the background of the escalation of violence in the West Bank."
In Israel they did take responsibility, and they may have done it too quickly.
Because the Border Guard claims that the conclusions of the IDF's initial investigation, according to which "the girl was apparently shot by IDF soldiers", were premature and lacked evidence.
The IDF is not currently responding to the accusations.
It is very possible that the Israeli system hastened because of the stressful visit of the UN Children's Mission, which is in Israel these days. Of course, the Shirin Abu Akla case, which the Americans are not letting up on, keeps echoing in the background.
For many months the Americans have been going to Israel on their heads because of the death of one journalist, who stood by terrorists when they tried to harm IDF soldiers. Even after Israel investigated and checked and took responsibility - even though there is no proof of its guilt - the Americans did not let up. Even a precedential FBI investigation There is nothing like it, they threaten to open against our soldier.

Instead of standing by its alliance that fights terrorism, instead of expressing understanding for the complexity of war when terrorists are hiding behind civilians, the United States of America harasses Israel without respite.
As if the lofty words about an eternal covenant, and a commitment to Israel's security had never been spoken.
And it does so, while demanding from Israel norms that it does not demand from any other country - not even from itself.

A small reminder: according to the underestimated estimates, 66,000 Iraqi civilians were killed during the years of the American occupation of the country - a greater number than all the Israeli and Palestinian deaths combined, in the hundred years of the conflict.
Did the Americans take responsibility for each and every case?
The answer is negative.
The Americans of course did not say a word about the tragedy of the Gazan baby.
In this case there is no need for them to investigate.
Because the rule adopted by the liberal world is simple.
A Jew who killed an Arab is a scandal.
But if an Arab kills an Arab, no one cares.
The Biden administration also took this attitude towards the Lapid-Bennett government.
One can assume that with Netanyahu's return to power, he is not expected to improve.
