The headline (since updated) says 10 Palestinians killed. The article says, twice, 10 Palestinians killed.
Finally, in paragraph four, it mentions Islamic Jihad admitted six of its terrorists were killed and Hamas admitted three of its own terrorists were killed. That's nine out of ten.
The headline implies that all the dead were civilians. At least nine of out ten were terrorists. Perhaps the tenth was also a terrorist, from the PFLP or Al Aqsa Brigades.
But how many people read that far?
Even worse, when it mentions the six dead Islamic Jihad terrorists - which included two Islamic Jihad mujahid children, not mentioned - it adds that "it was not immediately clear whether those casualties were included in the count announced by authorities." In other words, even though they just showed that most of the dead were terrorists, maybe they weren't counted, so Israel really did kill ten civilians.
The headline should have said Israel kills at least nine militants in the West Bank, so readers know that the Gaza war is being waged there as well by the same Hamas and Islamic Jihad trying to attack Jews in Israel and the same groups that massacred 1200 people on October 7.
Their choice of language and placement of the facts gives the opposite impression than the truth.
The WaPo gets its message across that the IDF kills civilians without saying it, so it can say it didn't do anything wrong.
These are the games the media plays; pretending to be accurate purveyors of news when in fact they are only promoting anti-Israel libels. Worse, this article proves that they know the truth and choose to mislead the readers.
