Israeli air strike kills 2 militants in Gaza

That’s not the headline folks, that’s what I think it should be. Instead this is the headline - ‘Israeli air strike kills 2 in Gaza‘, just 2 killed by mean, nasty Israel and their war birds. Two men, two women, two children perhaps. Killed somewhere in Gaza, on their way to the baker perhaps. Only in the article do they say it was two militants.
Thanks to ABC News - Palestinian medics say they have recovered the bodies of two Palestinian militants killed in an Israeli air strike in the Gaza Strip. The two men have been identified as fighters from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, an armed group loosely tied to the Fatah party of the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The medics say another four militants were wounded in the strike near the northern town of Jabaliya in the Hamas-ruled territory. The Israeli Army has said it carried out an air strike against a group of armed men near the border fence separating the territory from Israel.
Would it kill the ABC to say ‘Israeli air strike kills 2 militants in Gaza’? Is that so hard, to just present the news in fairness to them. I guess if they did that, it might make Israel not look like the cruel war-monger the leftie brigade insist they are. You might then have sympathy for the Jews eh, oh no, can’t have any of that. And our taxes pay for these curs.
