    There the establishment media goes again, quoting the IDF version of the events in the headline even though they’ve been known to be about as trustworthy a source as The Daily Mail.

    “20 gunmen” might as well be “100 men, women and children not wearing IDF uniforms” as far as we know.

      I’d say it’s worse then that. The IDF said they killed 20 “terrorists”. In IDF speak, all Palestinians are terrorists. The IDF didn’t specify if these alleged “terrorists” were actively shooting at them. Rueters used the term “gunmen” suggesting armed and active combatants. The IDF simply didn’t say that.
