Palestinian farmer killed by missile attack and the BBC don't run a story on it - why?

From the Gulf Daily News comes a story that "A Palestinian farmer was killed in the Gaza Strip near Israeli border yesterday."

But why are the BBC not reporting this? The BBC normally love to report any deaths or injuries caused by those nasty Israelis. The answer comes in the next line of the the Gulf Daily News's article "The man was killed when a mortar fired by Palestinian militants at Israel fell short in northern Gaza. Militant groups initially reported the man was killed by Israeli artillery fire."

The farmer was killed by Palestinian terrorists so that is not worth reporting; "nothing to see here, move along".
