'infiltrators'?

The BBC report that:
'Israel army kills infiltrators from Gaza'
Apparently:
'Israeli forces have shot dead two Palestinian gunmen who had entered Israel from the Gaza Strip, the Israeli military said.

The incident occurred across the border from the southern Gaza Strip.

Hamas security officials confirmed that two men were sent on an operation to attack Israel and clashed with soldiers near the border, AP reports. '
'infiltrators'? People that the terrorist organisation Hamas confirm were sent on an operation to attack Israel; 'infiltrators'?

Later in the same article the BBC use more carefully chosen words (my emphasis):
'The Israeli army said the raids were a response to the launching of a Qassam rocket earlier this week.

The rocket fell in the Ashkelon region, south of Tel Aviv, without causing any damage, the army said.

Israel launched a devastating assault on the Hamas-run Gaza Strip in December 2008, aimed at halting the sporadic rocket fire from Palestinian militants in Gaza.

Some 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed in the 22-day war.'
The BBC's choice of words is not accidental, it is very very deliberate. Israel must be vilified for everything they do and the effects of any acts of Palestinians terrorism minimised.
