The terrorists in Gaza fired rockets into Israel, and the IAF (Israel Air Force) responded by bombing terrorist tunnels and a weapons factory in Gaza. It bothers me that the title of the article in Ynetnews.com focusses on the IAF’s actions, and only in the sub-head and body of the article does it say that it is a reaction to rocket fire. Someone just reading the headlines gets the wrong idea.

And this is from an Israeli website. Maybe I should be a nudnik (a pest) and write a talkback along these lines (that the headline is distorted) every time an Israeli website does this, but I am not sure that I have the time or patience. Any volunteers?
