This afternoon, I heard a report on NPR that headlined 200 Palestinians
killed and 400 wounded in an Israeli army operation in Gaza. This report
came from estimates by a nurse at the local hospital, which came from a
later version of the story posted on the NPR Web site. The radio report
emphasized corpses just lining hallways in the hospital.

The numbers may indeed be true. The operation was in an residential
neighborhood, so of course there were lots of deaths and injured
civilians.

In the Web story, the headline starts with the hostage rescue, then
discusses civilian deaths, far less anti-Israel's conduct of the war
than the radio version of the story.

We learn later in the radio story, after the report stopped emphasizing the
dead and wounded Palestinian civilians, that the Israeli army had rescued
four hostages who were held captive in a house in this neighborhood.

Here's AP's version of the story, emphasizing jubilance in Israel about
the good news of the hostage rescue.

This version of the story tells us that one of the rescued hostages, Noa
Argamani, 25, was the subject of several videos showing her abduction,
so everyone in Israel knew who she was.
