Compare the two articles, the article about the murder doesn't even mention the victims name or age (Sgt. Tomer Hazan, 20) and is barely 100 words long. The other article is 3-4 times longer and yet completely fails to report significant facts surrounding the incident.
This article is a really good example of the media's obsession with reporting basically anything that puts Israel in a bad light.
