BBC News attempts to pass Palestinian militant deaths off as civilian deaths

In 'Israel to step up Gaza shelling', one can read the following:

She was the 16th Palestinian to die in Israeli air and artillery attacks on Gaza in the past four days.

A sentence much like the following (from memory) was removed from the article:

Israel says it will step up Gaza shelling despite the deaths of 16 Palestinians in the past four days.

The bias by omission is nothing less than outraging: BBC News wishes to have the reader believe that the 16 Palestinians killed were civilians, quite obviously, or it would state that of those 16 killed, 13 were militants:

• Friday: six Palestinians killed, that is, five militants and a five-year-old human shield (total: five militants out of six killed)
  
• Saturday: two gunmen killed as well as six other militants (total: 13 militants out of 14 killed)
  
• Sunday: one Palestinian civilian killed (total: 13 militants out of 15 killed)
• Monday: one Palestinian girl killed (total: 13 militants out of 16 killed)

I feel sorry for those who have to pay for this “news” service.
