If infanticide is aIways wrong, why did God command the Israelites to kiII infants?

"This is what the Lord of hosts has to say: 'I will punish what Amalek did to Israel when he barred his way as he was coming up from Egypt. Go, now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he has under the ban. Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and asses.'"
1 Samuel 15:2-3
it's probable that God tells millions of women each year to kill their babies, yes.
