Avoids naming Israel in title, summary or even the first paragraph but makes sure to lead with an arbritrary image of a chinese company so that the caption can associate the attack with China first.
May be an SEO A/B test thing but Israel is named in the title when navigating from the website:
But clicking into the article presents it as you’ve identified above
Interesting that the ABC called it out as a “foreign bad actor” when it’s Israeli as our government is unbelievably deferent to Israel. I get that they didn’t call out Israel as the bad actor but it does seem to fly pretty close to the sun for them. That said, reporting by Cam Wilson who I seem to recall worked for jjj for a long time and usually seems to be a bit more bold than usual for one of our reporters on state owned media? May have imagined it.
