Newspapers are competing with social media's rumor mill. There is intense pressure for speed to capture attention (and ad revenue). Sometimes inaccuracy make it through fast editorial reviews. This isn't the first or last error, and they do occur "in favor" of both sides. This article is a great demonstration. Al Jazeera seems to be the source that rephrased "victims" as "dead". They are typically a trustworthy information source. However, this is a very politically sensitive topic for Al Jazeera - the lesson would have been exercising more editorial review (or at least citing them as the source). Individual incompetence or systemic failures are always more likely than "deep state actors"
