Same here. Most that I saw said either on the very first story that they were reporting what Gaza officials were claiming or added that in an update a short time later.
That's how breaking news works. First stories report what people on the scene are claiming (Gaza officials in this case), which is often incomplete, and then update as more information comes in.
For people who regularly read a given set of news sites that works well. Pick a few that have different political leanings and read them fairly consistently and you'll get a decent picture of what's going on.
For people who just get their news by whatever tweets (or whatever they are called now on X) they see in the feed (in many cases just going by the content of the tweet itself instead of clicking the link to read the article at the source) it is not going to work so well.
