An hour after the killing of the six soldiers had been reported in Israel, and three hours after it was publicized that an IDF vehicle had been hit, CNN's website headlined the story in the following manner: "Palestinians Die in Israeli Clash."
The story described Israel's offensive operation, detailing how "rockets from Israeli gunships slammed into the heavily populated area," "sirens from Red Crescent Society ambulances echoed through the city," the Palestinian casualties, and the like.
The seven-paragraph story's only hints that an IDF vehicle had been hit were, "Palestinian militia sources said hundreds of its members had taken up arms against the Israelis," and, in the second-to-last sentence, "Military sources said the Palestinians detonated a number of explosive devices."
Only close to 3 PM Israel time - over five hours after news of the bombing was publicized in Israel - did the CNN story mention the deaths of the six Israeli soldiers. The new story, however, was crowned by yet another misleading headline: "11 dead in Israeli operation in Gaza" - leaving the impression that all 11 were victims of Israeli aggression.
