Appears? There's video and photos of people burning to death. At least one of the victims has been identified. There are reports from traumatized eyewitnesses. Why the timid headline? Do we have to wait for Israel's word on what happened?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Why the timid headline? Do we have to wait for Israel’s word on what happened?
The people who own/work at CBS certainly seem to think so, which says a lot about their "journalism."
I don't exactly see an exodus of journalists to more independent publications because they refuse to print such horseshit, so yes, the people who work there are part of the problem, too.
A lot of them are zionists
tbh though work at large publications are probably easier to get/pays better/more reliable, so it's not like journalists that stay at these places necessarily agree with the publications' stance
So the "I'm alright Jack" posture.
It's a selfish and immoral posture already when one takes it at the voting booth to chose a candidate that will personally benefit them whilst screwing most people, but it's especially low when one for personal upside maximization is knowingly part of the machinery that swindles people into supporting a Genocide well on it's way to Holocaust.
Yes of course.
US raises concerns.
Israel promises to investigate into the matter.
Then we never hear of it again as the newer atrocities are bigger than the last.
We’ve been in this loop for a year now. It’s not new.
If you have wondered how some people deny obviously documented things like the Holocaust, this is a prime example.
Someone should raise concerns in response
"Raises concern".
The media and ~~our~~ their leaders have disastrously misjudged the public's acceptance of Israel's actions, imho. I speak as a Canadian who is wholly disgusted in his government and media reaction to this. I feel like I'm part of an abandoned majority sold out for votes and money because my government seems to think I'm OK with this based on their response. I expect a response equal to our disgust of Russia's invasion and genocide. Greater, actually, for both. Not abstaining at the UN. Not just cutting off arms. I think we should be a vocal and active part of absolute international outrage at Russia, Israel, and everyone else party to this power play of worldwide history worship.
"We" had some moral ground in disgust of Russia. I feel my government and others have passively or actively accepted and now promoted it in service of the billionaire class.
Im sure all the western governments will send thoughts and prayers to the dying Palestinians
