Biased reporting ?

Unless the headline of This BBC news article has changed, it still reads " Israeli barrier guards 'killed' ".

I'm not taking issue with the story, just the headline, it goes on later to say "Two Israeli security guards have been shot dead ". So why the sarcastic quotes around "killed" in the headline ? Are Israeli soldiers' deaths not important enough for the BBC to consider as real killings ?
