BBC Middle East news priorities

If Israel had breached the ceasefire / hudna then the BBC would headline the news but as it was a Palestinian attack, not a word. Israel National News reports that:
'Soldiers killed a suspected Gaza terrorist early Monday after he broke into a Jewish home and stabbed a girl before fleeing.

The IDF discovered a hole in the nearby Gaza security fence, and footprints from the area matched the shoes of the intruder, who had escaped to the Moshav Sde Avraham's greenhouses after he tried to kill the girl.

Soldiers caught up with him and tried to arrest him, and then shot and killed him when he tried to escape.

The wounded girl is in fair condition. She was stabbed in her family’s home in Moshav Sde Avraham, originally named Yesodot HaDarom. It is a southern community adjacent to Gaza and was founded in 1982 by victims of the expulsion from the Yamit communities in Sinai that was part of the Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty in 1979.'
As of 10:32 on Tuesday 27th November I can't find a word about this attack on the BBC News website's Middle East  news section.
The BBC aren't even pretending to be unbiased when it comes to coverage of the Middle East.
