Girl killed accidentally

The headline reads "Afghan girl killed, policemen injured in two separate incidents in Kandahar."
The first paragraph of the article provides more detail.
"An Afghan girl has been killed in an accidental shooting by Canadian soldiers in Kandahar province, military officials disclosed Wednesday."
If Israel would have been involved, the headline would have read, "IDF soldiers kill Afghan girl."
The first paragraph would have provided more detail.
"Palestinians and human rights organizations have accused Israel of deliberately targeting a 17 year old girl. Palesinian witnesses say the 13 year old girl, was shot by an Israeli soldier after approaching the checkpoint. Other witnesses say Israeli soldiers did not allow ambulances to reach the 5 year old girl, thus leading to her death.
"It is a war crime," said another Palestinian witness while members of human rights organizations called for the lifting of the blockade in Gaza."
