At least when reports come out of Iraq, all the news sources seem to get the number and description of the casualties right. Why is that so different from the Israeli-Palestinian sitiuation?

From this morning's Jerusalem Post:

IDF troops killed at least nine Palestinians in Gaza Strip Wednesday according to Palestinian reports.

According to reports, all but one of the Palestinians killed were combatants. At least four of them are confirmed to have been Islamic Jihad members.

From today's Clarin of Argentina (translated by me):

"Israeli soldiers today killed thirteen Palestinians and wounded another ten during an Israeli attack on a neighborhood just south of Gaza city. The dead Palestinians were young civilians and residents of the Al Zeitun neighborhood of Gaza..."

This caption from a Reuters photo seems to lend more credence to the J-Post version:

"Islamic Jihad, one of the main groups behind a campaign of suicide bombings against Israelis, vowed revenge, saying four of its fighters including two field commanders were among those killed during fierce gun battles in Gaza City."

Just look at how these weasels fight mixed up among the civilians:
