So anyone with even minimal knowledge of the conflict can assume that Israel did this but that doesn't mean one can report it without knowing.

But that should be motivation to write a headline that more accurately captures the situation. I do feel using a passive voice here is intentional and it's not hard to write a headline that captures the fact that Iran and Qatar believe Israel to be responsible.

NYT plays defense for imperialism and empire all the time though so this is just another example of that.
