This One Is Tricky

I read fast. Sometimes too fast.

I saw this headline:-

Israel Kills 2 Palestinians In Gaza: Medical Workers

which I spotted at the New York Times web, originating at REUTERS.

I presumed that many other, many tens of hundreds of thousands of readers, like me, thought that the two Pals. killed were...medical workers.

They weren't.

They were:-

two Palestinians approaching the fence after they ignored shouted orders to stop and warning shots.

Couldn't the headline editor have written:

Health Aides: 2 Gazans Shot by Israeli Soldiers ?

a) it's shorter;
b) it's clearer;
c) "Israel" doesn't kill, it's soldiers do;
d) no Pals., only Gazans.

That's what I would call fairer media practice.
