ambulance team sent to rescue her vanishes

The Palestinian Red Crescent said Friday that more than three days had passed since it heard from an ambulance team [. . .] after they were fired on by an Israeli tank.

Gee, I wonder why they “vanished”??

I thought the exonerative tense in news reports couldn’t get more outrageous than it is with cops, but here we are.

At least the article mentions that an Israeli tank fired at the car, but yeah, the IDF gets the same passive tense treatment that US cops do.
