Maybe I’m above average here, but i feel like that’s already pretty obvious. AFAIK Israel is the only one currently genociding in Gaza. Now, if it WASNT Israel, that’d need the extra word.
You only get so many words in a title, news orgs tend to leave out the ones that don’t need more explanation.
it isn’t obvious to anyone reading mainstream news. news orgs are bending over backwards to obfuscate who’s actually doing the killing (one particularly egregious example being the NYT writing a whole-ass haiku instead of stating that Israeli soldiers opened fire on Palestinians seeking aid). sure, this particular headline would be ok if it was common knowledge that Israel is causing the wanton destruction in Gaza, but thanks to every other headline being like this, it isn’t
Wow, you really weren’t kidding about the haiku. Wtf.
ABC News in Australia has been using the passive voice everywhere in regards to Israel until they simply couldn’t avoid it any longer now that Israel has killed an Australian aid worker.

I’ve seen articles that said 1,200 Israelis killed by Hamas and then the next sentence said 32,000 Palestinians killed…but didn’t say by Israel.
The juxtaposition of those two sentences may lead some people to think that Hamas killed those tens of thousands.
I agree with you regarding headlines, but the article text itself should make it very clear that the vast majority of civilians killed in this conflict were killed by the Israeli Occupation Forces.
