Israel shoots dead two Palestinians suspected of killing teenagers

[cali]

An Israeli army spokesman says two Palestinians suspected in the fatal abduction of three Israeli teenagers in June have been killed in a shootout with Israeli forces.

Israel had spent months searching for Marwan Kawasme and Amar Abu Aysha, militants in their 30s from the Hebron area, after naming them as the killers of the Israeli teenagers, grabbed and shot dead near a Jewish settlement on 12 June.

Hebron residents said troops had surrounded a house in the city before dawn on Tuesday and reported sounds of gunfire.

The forces were seeking to arrest Kawasme and Abu Aysha when a firefight erupted, in which the two wanted men were killed, Lt Col Peter Lerner said.

1. ...in the process of attempting to arrest them

Seems a critical part of the story not included in the somewhat deceptive headline.

2. I don't think you understand the word "deceptive." n/t

3. I'm going with "giving an appearance or impression different from the true one; misleading"

What's your understanding of the word?

[Scootaloo]

4. The same. Problem is the title does nothing of sth sort

Were two Palestinians shot? Yes
Were they shot by Israelis? yes
Are they dead? yes
Were they suspects in the kidnapping? yes.

The only deceptiveness here is your claim that the headline is deceptive.

5. Don't know what "sth sort" means

But that aside, the headline is deceptive not by what it is included but by what is excluded.

Like that the suspects refused to surrender when an arrest attempt was made and that they shot first at the police.
